Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside
Theyre 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

[Verse 2]
A cock is crowing far away and another soldiers deep in prayer
Some mothers child has gone astray, she cant find him anywhere
But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise
Whom natures beast fears as they come and all I see are dark eyes

[Verse 3]
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, Im 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

[Verse 4]
Oh, the French girl, shes 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
