White Face, Black Eyes

They had a white face,
 They had black eyes
 They had burns all over their bodies
 They had love for my revulsion
 And they kissed away my repulsion
 They had a white face,
 And black eyes
 Their father came
 From across the sea
 To rescue
 To rescue
 To rescue me
 He said,
 "If you spend all your heart
 On something that has died
 You are not alive
 and that can't be a life"
 Love what you can
 Love what you can
 Until it dies
 And let it lie
 Let it fly away
 Love what you can
 Love what you can
 Until it dies
 And let it lie
 Let it fly
 Away
 He had a white face,
 He had black eyes
 He had burns all over his body
 And he was right
