| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
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 |
