For Other Eyes Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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" 

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 or lies 

And I found a number that I somehow dialed 

A woman answered, a woman smiled 

And she hung up on the silence unperplexed 

Innocently spun her rolodex 

I dialed again, I could not resist 

Revealing just the dentist's receptionist 

One day we'll laugh about this or maybe we'll curse 

But there's one thing and it's making it worse 

And it's the lack of forgiveness that I can't disguise 

No matter how well he lies 

Photos 

And 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
