Paroles de Dark eyes

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 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 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.
