Lyrics for Song: Green Are Your Eyes
Lyrics for Album: Decca Years 1965-1967 [2007]
Green are your eyes
In the morning when you rise.
Don't you be afraid, my love,
To lie by me,
Your father will not know.
Love can be broken
Though no words are spoken.
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me my love,
Your father will not know.
Love, don't cry
I'll not try.
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love,
Your father will not know.
Yes love, don't you cry,
I'll not try.
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love.
Your father will be told someday
About our wedding day.

Green Are Your Eyes
Recorded by Marianne Faithfull on the Decca Years 1965-1967 album, this track exemplifies the intimate and atmospheric pop sound characteristic of her mid-1960s work. The song features a minimalist arrangement that highlights Faithfull's distinctive vocal delivery, blending folk sensibilities with emerging R&B influences prevalent in the era. As part of her discography from that period, the recording captures the raw emotional vulnerability often found in her early solo career, distinguishing it from her later collaborations and hits. The composition reflects the transitional musical landscape of the mid-60s, where artists were moving away from strict rock structures toward more personal and acoustic-driven expressions. |
