Select language to translate this lyric
When 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
