I'm Not There movie - Dark Eyes lyrics

Song by Iron & Wine / Calexico<br /><br>

(Feat. Calexico) <br>

<br>

Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside, <br>

They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide. <br>

I live in another world where life and death are memorized, <br>

Where the earth is strung with lovers' pearls and all I see are dark eyes. <br>

<br>

A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer, <br>

Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere. <br>

But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise, <br>

Whom nature's beast fears as they come and all I see are dark eyes. <br>

<br>

They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes, <br>

They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is. <br>

But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized, <br>

All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes. <br>

<br>

Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel, <br>

Hunger pays a heavy price to the falling gods of speed and steel. <br>

Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies, <br>

A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.<br>

<br>
