Saint Etienne - Magpie Eyes Lyrics

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
