Gray green - his baby’s eyes are gray green 
She closes them and 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 
Calling her back to the world 

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 

He chooses, and asks them to forgive him 
The Three Marias winking, 
He pulls the window down 

Gray green - his baby’s eyes are gray green 
She closes them and sleep comes 
To carry her away
