lyrics

Found a job next to your house
You go there often I found out
Think that I might be obsessed
And I recall our night of rest

Don't know where or why I am
You know I'm not an honest man
It's right that you were so unkind
And that's just fine
You once were mine

Everything's incredible when your eyes meet with mine
All the world's own pretty pictures hang there in a line
Observing God's creation though you know he is a lie
And that's just fine
You once were mine

Understanding comes to slow
For now I'm feeling pretty low
So leave for now but come back soon
'Cause you're in love
And I'm a fool

Everything's incredible when your eyes meet with mine
All the world's own pretty pictures hang there in a line
Observing God's creation though you know he is a lie
And that's just fine
You once were mine

I'll be there for you when we are old and we are through
Our lives having been lived not knowing love so pure and true
Heirless elders sitting on their thrones of what to do
And nothing's new
And nothing's new

Everything's incredible when your eyes meet with mine
All the world's own pretty pictures hang there in a line
Observing God's creation though you know he is a lie
And that's just fine
You once were mine
