Texty: Bob Dylan. Empire Burlesque. 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 a dark eyes

A cock is crowing far away and another soldiers deep in prayer
Some mothers child has gone astray, she can't 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 a 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
And all I feel is heat and flame and all I see are a dark eyes

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 a dark eyes
