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
