Lyrics

[00:24.80] Oh, the gentlemen are talking
[00:30.40] and the midnight moon is on riverside
[00:36.09] They're drinking up and walking
[00:41.84] and it is time for me to slide
[00:47.76] I live in another world where life
[00:54.19] and death are memorized
[00:58.94] Where the earth is strung with lovers pearls
[01:04.67] and all I see are dark eyes
[01:23.19] A cock is crowing far away
[01:28.63] and another soldiers deep in prayer
[01:34.24] Some mothers child has gone astray
[01:39.77] she can't find him anywhere
[01:45.54] But I can hear another drum beating
[01:52.48] for the dead that rise
[01:56.40] Whom natures beast fears
[01:59.44] as they come and all I see are dark eyes
[02:19.00] They tell me to be discreet
[02:23.99] for all intended purposes
[02:29.51] They tell me revenge is sweet
[02:34.70] and from where they stand, I'm sure it is
[02:40.35] But I feel nothing for their game
[02:45.76] where beauty goes unrecognised
[02:51.32] All I feel is heat and flame
[02:56.74] and all I see are dark eyes
[03:24.54] Oh, the french girl, she's in paradise
[03:29.70] and a drunken man is at the wheel
[03:35.41] Hunger pays a heavy price to
[03:40.79] the falling gods of speed and steel
[03:46.06] Oh, time is short and the days are sweet
[03:51.42] and passion rules the arrow that flies
[03:56.82] A million faces at my feet but
[04:02.07] all I see are dark eyes
