|
Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside |
|
They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide |
|
I live in another world where life and death are memorized |
|
Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls and all I see are dark eyes. |
|
A cock is crowing 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 beating 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 prize 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. |
