One[] summer evening drunk to hell I[] sat there nearly[] lifeless,
An[] old man in the corner sang where the[] water lilies[] grow,
And[] on the juke box Johnny sang[] about a thing called[] love,
And it s[] how are you[] kid,[]whats your[] name,
And[] how would you bloody[] know.
[2]
In[] blood and death neath the screaming sky,
I[] lay down on the[] ground,
And the[] arms and legs of other men,
Were[] scattered all a[]round,
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 were[] looking at []me,
But when we got[] back labelled[] parts one to[] three,
There was no[] pair of brown eyes[] lookin at[] me.
And a rovin a[] rovin a[] rovin I ll[] go,
For 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 dreams,
I saw the streams the rolling hils,where his brown eyes were waiting,
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me.
So drunk to 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 sound of long ago,from the old canal,
And the birds were whistling in the trees,
Where the wind was gently laughing.
And[] a rovin,a[] rovin a[] rovin I ll[] go for a[] pair of brown[] eyes,
For a[] pair of brown[] eyes.
