One Long Pair Of Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians

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 

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? 

She had one long pair of eyes 

One long pair of eyes between her 

One long pair of eyes 

So she could see you
