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.
