Strange Eyes

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 3 [1999]

Strange eyes, blue clocks without hands

Two lives lived in distant lands

Little blue mysteries

What did they see in me



Strange eyes, early Picassos

Call me even when you don't

If only from pictures

It having been three years



The follow me in all my dreams

Oh, God I'm still in love with You



Strange eyes, to little star charts

Plunge knives into my poor heart

As lovely as a tree

They endlessly recede



Strange eyes, two little whirlpools

Made by God to destroy fools

Two pearls of infinite cost

Two paradises lost



They swallow me in all my dreams

Oh, God I'm still in love with You
