Pale Blue Eyes.

This song will always remind me of a person, a girl, one I loved greatly, one I lost.

I met her in the Honeyclub, many years ago... her eyes the palest blue, framed by long eyelashes...

To dumbstruck to speak to her, we met again a few weeks later, she was walking down the street and I saw her again, I was drunk in the street (it was my birthday, I'm not some kind of tramp that sits in the street, drinking)... I shouted for her attention, we spent the next three years together. I only had to see her eyes and I would fall for her over again.

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.

Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought 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 that 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.
