Ever since I was a child 
I've tuned it all in my mind 
I sang by the piano 
Tore my yellow dress and 
Cried and cried and cried 

And I'd want to see what I've seen 
To undo what has been done 
Turn off all the lights 
Let the [bad word]  come 

Now there's green light in my eyes 
And my lover on my mind 
And I sing from the piano 
Tear my yellow dress and 
Cry and cry and cry 
Over the love of youth 

On this [bad word] home 
Against the current of old 
Everybody see I love him 
Cause it's the feeling that you get 
When the afternoon is set 
On the bridge into the city 

And I want to see what I've seen 
To undo what has been done 
Turn off all the lights 
Let the [bad word] 

There's green light in my eyes 
And my lover on my mind 
And I sing from the piano 
Tear my yellow dress and 
Cry and cry and cry 

Cause you're a hard soul to save 
With an ocean in the way 
But I'll get around it 
I'll get around it 
Cause you're a hard soul to save 
With an ocean in the way 
But I'll get around it 
I'll get around it 

There's green light in my eyes 
And my lover on my mind 
And I sing from the piano 
Tear my yellow dress and 
Cry and cry and cry and 
Over the love of youth 

Cry and cry and cry and 
Over the love of youth 
Cry and cry and cry and 
Over the love of youth 

I can see the green light 
I can see it in your eyes 
I can see the green light 
I can see it in your eyes
