Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter Lyrics

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off OF you
I can't take my eyes off OF you
I can't take my eyes off OF you
I can't take my eyes off OF you
I can't take my eyes off OF you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off OF you
I can't take my mind off OF you...
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter Lyrics

This has got to die,
This has got to stop,
This has got to lie down,
Someone else on top.

You can keep me pinned,
It's easier to tease,
But you can't paint an elephant,
Quite as good as she.

And she may cry like a baby,
And she may drive me crazy
Cause I am lately lonely.

So, why'd you have to lie,
I take it I'm your crutch,
The pillow in your pillowcase,
Is easier to touch.

And when you think you've sinned,
You fall upon your knees,
Just see within your picture,
Just still forget the breeze.

And she may rise,
If I sing you down,
And she may wisely,
Cling to the ground.
Cause I am lately horny.

So why would would she take me only(?)

This has got to die,
This has got to stop,
This has got to lie down,
Someone else on top.
(?)
Well you can both keep me pinned
Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't make me happy
Quit as good as me.
When you know that's a lie.
