[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a child
I've turned it over in my mind
I sang by the piano
Tore my yellow dress and
Cried and cried and cried

[Pre-Chorus]
Now to unsee what I've seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come, come

[Chorus]
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you

[Verse 2]
All this champagne drunken home
Against the current of gold
Everybody see I love him
Cause it's a feeling that you get
When the afternoon is set
On the bridge into the city

[Pre-Chorus]
And now to unsee what I've seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come

[Chorus]
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry

[Bridge]
Because you're a hard soul to save
With an ocean in my way
But I'll get around it, I'll get around it
Cause you're a hard soul to save
With an ocean in the way
But I'll get around it

[Chorus]
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you

[Outro]
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes

Florence + The Machine

Florence + the Machine is an English alternative band, co-founded by front-woman, Florence Welch, and keyboardist and producer, Isabella Summers. The band is managed by Mairead Nash who also managed the original duo, known at the time as ‘Florence Robot/Isa Machine’, after Florence Welch sang Etta James‘ “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” to her in a club bathroom in December 2006.

The band first found fame in their native UK. Their debut album, Lungs (2009), went Gold within the first week of release, Platinum in less than 6 months and 4x Platinum in just over a year. They broke into the USA market after an elaborate performance of “Dog Days Are Over” at the 2010 VMA’s.

Their sophomore album, Ceremonials (2011), debuted at #1 on the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand charts. The band embarked on their second arena-based tour, the Ceremonials Tour. Most dates completely sold out.
