Ode to Boy

Lyrics
[Verse 1] When he moves, I watch him from behind He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes Intent and direct when he speaks I watch his lips, yeah When he drives, I love to watch his hands White, smooth; almost feminine Almost American I have to watch him In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking in But soon his eyes forgot me And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her search into you And ached awhile I watch his lips caress the glass His finger stroke its stem and pass To lift a cigarette at last He dries his eyes From the shadow by the stair I watch as he weeps, unaware That I'm in awe of his despair In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking in But soon his eyes forgot me And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her search into you And ached awhile [Chorus] (Ah) Hey, hey (Ah) (Ah yeah) (Ah) [Verse 2] When he moves, I watch him from behind He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes Intent and direct when he speaks I watch his lips, yeah When he drives, I love to watch his hands White, smooth; almost feminine Almost American I have to watch him In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking in But soon his eyes forgot me And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her search into you And ached awhile I watch his lips caress the glass His finger stroke its stem and pass To lift a cigarette at last He dries his eyes From the shadow by the stair I watch as he weeps, unaware That I'm in awe of his despair In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking in But soon his eyes forgot me And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her search into you And ached awhile [Chorus] (Ah, ah, ah) (Ah yeah) (Ah, ah, ah) (Ah yeah) (Ah)
