Lyrics for For Other Eyes by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | The Juliet Letter | | Track: | For Other Eyes | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | Words: Mac Manus/Cassidy/M.P. Thomas
Music: Mac Manus (2:55)
I don't know what I
would do
If this letter should fall into
Other hands than it should pass through
For
other eyes
He said, "It was nothing...it's over and done"
But the rotten worm was
burrowing still
Its spirit invades me bleeding me white
For other replies
I searched
his pockets
I searched his eyes
I searched his wallet for clues and lies
And I found
a number that I somehow dialled
A woman answered, a woman smiled
Then she hung up on the
silence unperplexed
Innocently spun her rolodex
I dialled again I could not
resist
Revealing just the dentist receptionist
One day we'll laugh about it or maybe
we'll curse
But there is one thing that is making it worse
And it's the lack of
forgiveness that I can't disguise
No matter how well he lies
Now we don't know each other
anymore
And when we touch our lips feel sore
I question the longing left in his
sighs
