Robyn Hitchcock - One Long Pair of Eyes lyrics

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, stealing 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 you Just before the curtains part for dawn And everything's gone She had one long pair of eyes She had one long pair of eyes between her One long pair or eyes So she could see you Oh... 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 that strange? She had one long pair of eyes She had one long pair of eyes between her One long pair of eyes She had one long pair of eyes between her One long pair of eyes Oh, she had one long pair of eyes between her One long pair of eyes So she could see you
