C Dm F G C G Dm

Gray green - his baby's eyes are gray green

She closes them, sleep comes

To carry her away

He's singing: noni, noni, noni

Even though she's long gone

Down into his arms

A siren is crying way off in the distance

Outside, the midnight sky is clearing

The Three Marias shine down

And find her where she dreams

So sweet, the breeze that stirs the curtains

The breeze they send to tease

Her hair across her eyes

The siren climbs like a thief through the window

Calling her back to the world

She closes them, sleep comes

To carry her away
