Pianos & Clocks Lyrics - Aztec Camera

Well, hello there, sweet to see you 

Like your colour, how you doin'? 

I've been battered and bewildered 

In the beauty of your ruins 

Flash, flash and I am blinded 

By the fact that you've been born 

Feels like fiction life goes on 

Brown eyes are gone 

Silence is a virtue 

I was taught so I agreed 

Conversation half forgotten 

Is the hole I hold in me 

And all our language and expression 

Is decimated by decree 

The sound of song dies in the dawn 

Brown eyes are gone 

Descended slowly on the steps of the cathedral 

Where I kissed you 

Remembered candles lit with meaning I imposed 

But that escaped you 

With your brown eyes and your blue jeans 

I heard the chiming of the clocks 

Kick out the shifting shuffling rhythm 

Of your docs 

Hit the road with my compadre 

Saw the city incomplete 

We were tossed and torn and tumbled 

In your famous foreign streets 

I felt so fearless and forgotten 

No one numbered nothing neat 

The son has shone, we still belong 

Brown eyes are gone 

So farewell then Senorita 

Pianos played and set the tone 

I was singing like a servant 

To the tune of telephones 

I wish you freedom and forgiveness 

And a time that is your own 

Blue is the colour, mine's the moment 

Brown eyes are gone 

Blue is the colour, mine's the moment 

Brown eyes are gone
