Roberto's Eyes Lyrics - Death Takes A Holiday

When have I seen those eyes before? 

Somewhere I've seen those eyes before 

Ages ago, far up above, feeling the wind rush 

Something about the look of him brings me back to then 

Feel the controls, hand on a stick, flying a biplane 

Bristol F2-Fighter 

Wing man to Roberto 

High above the clouds 

Cutting through the air 

In the war 

Piloting his Bristol, seven thousand feet aloft 

Chasing down a German plane who's tail he's set ablaze 

Jerry dodges left and right, Roberto's like a cat 

His gun sight never loses track of where he flies

When was it when I looked into those eyes? 

When was it when I last beheld those eyes? 

He can outmaneuver him, he's got him on the run 

Then the German rolls and points his nose into the sun 

Blinded for a second now, Roberto looks above until there's nothing all around but empty skies 

When was it when I last beheld those eyes? 

Then all at once 

There dead ahead 

High in the heavens 

Both of them race 

They're face to face 

No way to turn back 

One of them will live 

One of them will die 

It was war

Left and right his wings are shredding 

Situation dire 

Now Roberto's shooting back there's hardly time to fire 

Then a German bullet hits directly in his engine 

and Roberto's in a tailspin trailing smoke 

I follow as he folds 

He turns to me and waves 

A smile betrays his terror 

I stare into his eyes 

and that is when I saw it 

Though he was still alive 

He knew that he was dead 

To see a man the moment when he dies 

I see that look again in that man's eyes
