For Other Eyes |
| 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 dialed |
| A woman answered, a woman smiled |
| Then she hung up on the silence unperplexed |
| Innocently spun her rolodex |
| I dialed 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 |
| For other eyes |
