Dark
Eyes
1979 Special Rider Music
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 strunng with lovers' 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 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.
