Bright Black Eyes Lyrics - Singles - The Czars

I thought that I knew where my heart it had landed 

I thought that Id worked it all out 

I thought shed be willing to hold me at night 

And I thought that thats what I would want 

But I was a blind man in love with a demon 

And I couldnt figure it out 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to quench the light in my soul 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to strip all the sense from my mind 

This desert it seems to have no plans of ending 

So I have to make it my home 

You gave me a chance, now I know I cant take it 

Id rather just be here alone 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to quench the light in my soul 

I have let you play me and take me to places 

That I thought that I couldnt find, oh oh 

Dont talk to me about love 

This has nothing to do with that word 

This is just good old fashioned exploitation 

Youre not serious 

So just like a dog that returns to his vomit 

I guess that I do it because 

I get no more pleasure from self-deprecation 

Its not as much fun as it was, oh, oh 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to quench the light in my soul 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to strip all the sense from my mind 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to quench the light in my soul, in my soul 

Your bright black eyes 

Have started to strip all the sense from my mind
