Magpie Eyes

September is all go

And traffic is so slow

I love you, don't you know?

But memories of holding hands

Get crowded by all of our plans

Not hearing what you say

The highlights of your day

Rose petals blown away

Pictures drawn in the sand

Washed over by all of our plans

Just another call to make

I'll stay in town till late

Just one more time

My magpie eyes

Set on the prize

Guess I was blind

Now all I want to do

Is spend more time with you

And where did those months go?

When you let your hair grow

The girlfriend I'll never know

Fall in love with scrawl on your hand

Some Herbert who plays in a band

Just another call to make

I'll stay in town till late

Just one more time

My magpie eyes

Set on the prize

Guess I was blind

Now all I want to do

Is spend more time with you
