A Pair of Brown Eyes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One summer evening, drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
"Where the Water Lilies 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?

[Verse 2]
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
And 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

[Chorus]
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

[Verse 3]
I looked at him, he looked at me
All I could do was hate him
While Ray and Philomena sang
Of my elusive dreaming
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me

[Verse 4]
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking
A hungry sound came through 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

[Chorus]
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

[Outro]

It takes me right back to being 14 or 15 and hearing that song on a college radio channel in North Carolina, just hearing that story and hearing time and space go away. Whenever you get transported, you never forget that kind of stuff. I started thinking about people that I lost that had brown eyes....
