One Long Pair Of Eyes

In the tower the lover sighs
Good Sir Knight, please take my eyes-I've used them.
Doctor, doctor, I'm on fire!
Oh, I'm sad to hear that, squire-we're closing.
She snuffs you out like silk
and pours you out like milk
But just before the dawn appears, draining all the blue away
And just before all your perspectives change
Isn't it strange?
On the black Fellini sails
Tattered rags that hangs on nails reminds me
You the mistress of your chair
I the sergeant of your hair-you blind me
You turn me on like light
A silver liquid light
That emanates inside of you, decorates the room around and
Just before the curtains part for dawn
And everything's gone
CHORUS
She had one long pair of eyes
One long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
So she could see you
On the lone Norwegian shore
Lovers weep for evermore in evening
With the clouds above their heads
Go back to their lonesome beds and leave them
She falls on you like rain
When will she fall again?
Oh just before the dawn appears, draining all the blue away and
Just before all your perspectives change
Isn't it strange?
CHORUS
