Cold Feet movie - A Pair Of Brown Eyes lyrics

rate me

Song by The Pogues<br /><br>

One summer evening drunk to hell<br>

I stood there nearly lifeless<br>

An old man in the corner sang<br>

Where the water lilies grow<br>

And on the jukebox Johnny sang<br>

About a thing called love<br>

And it's how are you kid and what's your name<br>

And how would you bloody know?<br>

In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky<br>

I lay down on the ground<br>

And the arms and legs of other men<br>

Were scattered all around<br>

Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed<br>

Then prayed and bled some more<br>

And the only thing that I could see<br>

Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me<br>

But when we got back, labeled parts one to three<br>

There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me<br>

<br>

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go<br>

For a pair of brown eyes<br>

<br>

I looked at him he looked at me<br>

All I could do was hate him<br>

While Ray and Philomena sang<br>

Of my elusive dream<br>

I saw the streams, the rolling hills<br>

Where his brown eyes were waiting<br>

And I thought about a pair of brown eyes<br>

That waited once for me<br>

So drunk to hell I left the place<br>

Sometimes crawling sometimes walking<br>

A hungry sound came across the breeze<br>

So I gave the walls a talking<br>

And I heard the sounds of long ago<br>

From the old canal<br>

And the birds were whistling in the trees<br>

Where the wind was gently laughing<br>

<br>

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go<br>

For a pair of brown eyes<br>

<br>
