Bjork - Dull Flame Of Desire Lyrics

I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

Song Information

The lyrics to the song are an English translation of a Russian poem by Fyodor Tyutchev, as it appears in the Andrei Tarkovsky film, Stalker.

The video has three parts. The first part was directed by Christoph Jantos, the second part by Masahiro Mogari and the third part by Marcal Cuberta. It is a simple yet effective video.
