she s got big green eyes and a long egyptian face she moves across the floor at her own pace when i m here in bed she ll jump up on my chest and when we lock eyes there s so much love i wanna cry she comes in near when i scratch under her ear and she lifts her head when i kiss around her neck won t go to sleep when she falls along my side and two green eyes fade to a porcelain marble white and somehow when i sleep she ll end up at my feet and if i roll and kick her out i might knock her to the ground but she ll come back anyhow ella es mi hijita ms dulce que las cerezas pura como el agua con la nariz y las orejas rosas the morning comes she squints up to shield out the sun and she ll go and lay in the warmest dusty rays and i hold her face she lays perfectly in place and she ll yawn and stretch and stare me down expressionless and lay back down into her nest and if someone calls she ll race me out the hall when she hears the phone then she knows i m leaving home she don t wanna be alone and i know it s wrong that i m going away so long and for her it s rough i can t be with her enough but i ll never give her up sus ojos brillan como el sol la amo ms que nadie con manchas de vaca ms suave que cochinita and somehow when i sleep she ll end up at my feet and if i roll and kick her out i might knock her to the ground but she ll come back anyhow
