Coldplay - Green Eyes
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand
That green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, now I've met you
And honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know
That green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you must be out of their mind
Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, since I met you
Honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Green eyes
Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
The seventh track off of A Rush of Blood to the Head has a country-rock vibe to it. Chris Martin wrote “Green Eyes” as a ballad for a former girlfriend who, obviously, had green eyes. When Chris started dating Gwyneth Paltrow in 2002, he decided against performing the song live as it offended her. Instead, he chose to play “Moses,” a song written for Paltrow. Later he said the following about the discussion: “It’s not about the right person. It’s like an old pair of trousers, it doesn’t fit.”
