A Pair Of Brown Eyes Lyrics - Most Lamentable Tragedy - Titus Andronicus

One winter's evening stoned as hell 

While an old man in the corner sang 

"Where the Waterlilies Grow" 

And on the jukebox Johnny sang 

About a thing called love 

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

And how would you bloody know? 

In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky 

I lay down on the ground 

And the arms and legs of other men 

Were scattered all around 

Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed 

Then prayed and bled some more 

But the only thing that I could see 

Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me 

But when we got back, labeled parts one to three 

There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So a roving a roving a roving I'll go 

For a pair of brown eyes 

A pair of brown eyes 

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 dream 

I heard the sounds that followed away 

Where his brown eyes were waiting 

And I thought about a pair of brown eyes 

That waited once for me 

I thought about a pair of brown eyes 

A pair of brown eyes 

Photos 

So stoned as 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 sounds of long ago 

From the old canal 

And the birds were whistling in the trees 

Where the wind was gently laughing 

So a roving a roving a roving I'll go 

For a pair of brown eyes 

A pair of brown eyes 

For a pair of brown eyes 

A pair of brown eyes 

A pair of brown eyes 

A pair of brown eyes
