pale blue eyes

(lou reed, 1968)



Sometimes i feel so happy
Sometimes i feel so sad
Sometimes i feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad

Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Though of you as my mountain top
Though of you as my peak
Though of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep

Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me
I put in front of me

Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely,stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up

Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday
And i'd do it once again
The fact are you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin

Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
