Green-Eyed Mama

You walked in

I lost my Focus

A Guinness halfway to my mouth

Those green eyes caught me looking

Pulled the walls I’d built right down

I gave up on this

And buried my black heart

So far down

So why and how

Am I feeling this now

Green-eyed Mama

You melt this stubborn soul

You make a stranger feel like home

Every time you look my way

I melt and fall apart

I come undone

Green-eyed Mama

Used to keep my distance

Hands in my pockets

Heart is on leave

Then your laughter

Turns my edges smooth

And ended that leave

You made this heart a new

With those eyes

You made this bloke a new

Green-eyed Mama

You melt this stubborn soul

You make a stranger feel like home

Every time you look my way

I melt and fall apart

I come undone

Green-eyed Mama

I was rust and I was ruin

All locked up

All alone

Then you traced my scars with glances

You Softened my soul

You Softened my bones

Now I’m learning how to open

Learning how to just be

Every shade inside your eyes

Shows me it’s okay

Green-eyed Mama

You melt this stubborn soul

You make a stranger feel like home

Every time you look my way

I melt and fall apart

I come undone

Green-eyed Mama
