Pale Blue Eyes - Patti Smith

Sometimes I feel so happy.

Sometimes I feel so sad.

Sometimes I feel just about everything.

But you just make me mad.

But you just make me mad.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Thought of you as my mountaintop.

Thought of you as my peak.

Thought of you as just about everything.

I’ve had but I just couldn’t keep;

had but I just could not keep.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

I await the world as pure,

as strange as what I see.

I put you in a mirror

and put it inside of me.

I put you inside of me.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Skip a life completely,

stuff it in a cup.

She said money’s like us in time:

It lies but just can’t stand up.

And down for you is up.

And then linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

It was good what we had yesterday.

And I’d do it all again.

The fact that we were married

only proves that you’re my best friend,

but it’s truly a sin.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.

Linger on pale blue eyes.
