A Pair of Brown Eyes

One winter's evening stoned as hell
 ♪
 While an old man in the corner sang
 "Where the Waterlilies Grow"
 And on the jukebox Johnny sang
 About a thing called love
 And it's how are you kid and what's your name
 And how would you bloody know?
 In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
 I lay down on the ground
 And the arms and legs of other men
 Were scattered all around
 Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
 Then prayed and bled some more
 But the only thing that I could see
 Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
 But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
 There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
 So a roving a roving a roving I'll go
 For a pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
 I looked at him, he looked at me
 All I could do was hate him
 While Ray and Philomena sang
 Of my elusive dream
 I heard the sounds that followed away
 Where his brown eyes were waiting
 And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
 That waited once for me
 I thought about a pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
 So stoned as hell I left the place
 Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
 A hungry sound came across the breeze
 So I gave the walls a talking
 And I heard the sounds of long ago
 From the old canal
 And the birds were whistling in the trees
 Where the wind was gently laughing
 So a roving a roving a roving I'll go
 For a pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
 For a pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
 A pair of brown eyes
