lyrics

Dark Eyes

It was the winter of my seventh year
When I had a frightening dream
I saw a child with bright blood in his smile
Popsicle, dripping with sweet

I told my Mama about what I’d seen
Fear, in a flash, crossed her eyes
That boy had died but not two months ago
Hit by an ice cream truck, crossing the road
And she said…

Dark Eyes!
You have dark eyes!
You’ll see what others don’t see
Just remember, oh my dark eyes
Destiny's never for free

It was the spring of my seventeenth year
I was a so fresh and in love
I whispered my secret one night in the dark
And he begged me to grant him my charm

Closing my eyes, I saw it was too late
I brewed him a potion to spare him from fate
He drank it down and then clutched at his throat
Allergic to toads…
How was I to know?
and he said...

Dark Eyes!
You have dark eyes!
You’ll see what others don’t see
Dark Eyes, oh my dark eyes
They ask for their fate,
but don’t know what’s at stake with your
Dark Eyes!
Oh your dark eyes!
Destiny's never for free
A flip of a card, a twist of the key
And whatever will be must be

Lai lai lai ....

Dark Eyes!
You have dark eyes!
You’ll see what others don’t see
Dark Eyes, I have dark eyes
They ask for their fate,
but don’t know what’s at stake with my
Dark Eyes!
Oh my dark eyes!
Destiny's never for free
A flip of a card, a twist of the key
And whatever will be must be

People in town, they weren't kind to me then
Blamed for his death
They came after my head
Locked in a box and dropped into the sea
I washed up on shore
Where the 'Misfits' were
Now the circus is home to my dark eyes
and me…
