Calexico - Dark Eyes letra de (lyrics)

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
