A Pair Of Brown Eyes - The Phil Kennedy Show, March 1985, Live

One summer evening, drunk to hell
 I sat there nearly lifeless
 An old man in the corner sang
 "Where The Water Lilies 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
 And prayed and bled some more
 And the only thing that I could see
 Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
 But when we got back, labelled parts one to three
 There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
 And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
 For a pair of brown eyes
 ♪
 I looked at him, he looked at me
 All I could do was hate him
 While Ray and Philemena sang of my elusive dreams
 I saw the streams, the rolling hills
 Where his brown eyes were waiting
 And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
 That waited once for me
 So drunk to 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
 And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
 A rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
 And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
 For a pair of brown eyes
 For a pair of brown eyes
 And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
 And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
 And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
