Josh Ritter - Bright Smile lyrics

Now my work is done i feel I’m owed some joy
Oh, Imogene and Abelard
I’m your homeward boy

But there’s another one
That brings me to your door
And the boat she weaved from the tidal reeds
Was always tied to shore

With bright smiles and dark eyes
Bright smile, dark eyes
Everywhere I went, oh
I was always looking for you
Bright smile, dark eyes

I’m looking for some peace
But it’s so hard to find
With Calamity Janes and
The Steamboat Casanovas
And Darling Clementines

If she’s your only one then she is also mine
Just pin your heartbeat up
Against my heartbeat
And you’ll see how well we rhyme

Man is only half himself
The other half is a bright thing
He tumbles on by luck or grace
For man is ever a blind thing

Smile, dark eyes dark eyes
Dark eyes
