LyricsDark Eyes

Oh, the gentlemen are talkin' And the midnight moon is on the riverside They're drinkin' up and walkin' And it is time for me to slide I live in another world Where life an' death are memorized Where the earth is strung with lovers' pearls And all i see are dark eyes. A cock is crowin' far away And another soldier's deep in prayer Some mother's child has gone astray She can't find him anywhere But i can hear another drum Beatin' for the dead that rise Whom nature's beast fears as they come And all i see are dark eyes. They tell me to be discreet For all intended purposes They tell me revenge is sweet And from where they stand, i'm sure it is But i feel nothing for their game Where beauty goes unrecognized All i feel is heat and flame And all i see are dark eyes. Oh, the French girl she's in paradise And a drunken man is at the wheel Hunger pays a heavy price To the falling gods of speed and steel Oh, time is short and the days are sweet And passion rules the arrow that flies A million faces at my feet But all i see are dark eyes.
