[Verso 1]
E
In the tower the lover sighs
E A
"Curse the night, please take my eyes, I've used them"
E
"Doctor, doctor, I'm on fire"
E A
"Oh, I'm sad to hear that, squire, we're closing"
C#m A
She snaps you out like silk
C#m A
And pours you out like milk
A
But just before the dawn appears
A
Stealing all the blue away
A C#m
Just before all your perspectives change
Isn't that strange?
[Verso 2]
E
On the black Fellini sails
E A
Tattered rags that hang on nails reminds me
E
You, the mistress of your chair
E A
I, the sergeant of your hair, you blind me
C#m A
You turn me on like light
C#m A
A silver liquid light
A
That emanates inside of you
A
And decorates the room around
A C#m
And just before the curtains part for dawn
And everything's gone
[Refrão]
E
She had one long pair of eyes
A
She had one long pair of eyes between her
E
One long pair of eyes
A
So she could see you
E A
Oh oh oh oh
[Verso 3]
E
On the lone Norwegian shore
E A
Lovers weep forevermore in evening
E
With the clouds above their heads
E A
Go back to their lonesome beds and leave them
C#m A
She falls on you like rain
C#m A
When will she fall again?
A
Oh, just before the dawn appears
A
Draining all the blue away
A C#m
Just before all your perspectives die
Didnt you try?
[Refrão]

She had one long pair of eyes

She had one long pair of eyes between her

One long pair of eyes
A
She had one long pair of eyes between her

One long pair of eyes
A
Oh, she had one long pair of eyes between her

One long pair of eyes
A
So she could see you
