lyrics

PRETTY GREEN ICEBOX EYES

Pretty green ice-box eyes, where are you going?
Wherever I can disguise my heartbreak showing.
Is that a place of sand, and is it snowing?
There is no forgetting and no end of knowing.
May I come with you for I love you only?
There is no room for you here, my way is lonely.
My heart was hot until it fell apart and disappeared.
Now you’ll have to wait another time.

Pretty green ice-box eyes, what the hell happened?
There was a cracking sound and all hell unbattened.
I mean what took place that I should find you so saddened?
Yes, it’s a secret place and I have a patent.
May I come with you? for I love you dearly.
There is no room for you here, my way is weary.
My heart was hot until it fell apart and disappeared.
And now you’ll have to wait another time.

My heart was hot until it fell apart and disappeared.
And now you’ll have to wait another time.

Pretty green ice-box eyes, where are you going?
Wherever I can disguise my heartbreak showing.
Is that a place of sand, and is it snowing?
There is no forgetting and no end of knowing.
Well, may I come with you? for I love you only!
There is no room for you here, my way is lonely.
My heart was hot until it fell apart and disappeared.
And now you’ll have to wait another time.
And now you’ll have to wait another time.
And now you’ll have to wait another time.

Leslie Medford is a dude from a world that no longer exists!The two bands he led 1984-1991 have their own bandcamp pages under The Ophelias and HighHorse. Medford was a busy fellow during his pro period (1982-1992) and this site covers solo things & side projects from as early as 1975 and as recent as 2004.There is tremendous variety here, of a high standard of idea, if not always execution.Enjoy! ... more
