Well, hello there, sweet to see you, Like your colour, how you doin'? I've been battered and bewildered In the beauty of your ruins Flash, flash and I am blinded By the fact that you've been born Feels like fiction life goes on Brown eyes are gone
Silence is a virtue I was taught so I agreed Conversation half forgotten Is the hole I hold in me And all our language and expression Is decimated by decree The sound of song dies in the dawn Brown eyes are gone
Descended slowly on the Steps of the cathedral Where I kissed you, Remembered candles lit with meaning I imposed but that escaped you With your brown eyes And your blue jeans I heard the chiming of the clocks Kick out the shifting Shuffling rhythm of your docs
Hit the road with my compadre Saw the city incomplete We were tossed and torn and tumbled In your famous foreign streets I felt so fearless and forgotten No-one numbered nothing neat The son has shone, we still belong, Brown eyes are gone
So farewell then senorita Pianos played and set the tone I was singing like a servant To the tune of telephones I wish you freedom and forgiveness And a time that is your own Blue is the colour, mine's the moment Brown eyes are goneTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
