One su mmer evening drunk to hell I s at there nearly l ifeless
An ol d man in the corner sang where the wa terlilies gr ow
And o n the jukebox Johnny sang ab out a thing called l ove
and it's h ow are you k id
and wh ats your na me
and h ow would you bloody k now
In blo od and death 'neath a screaming sky
I l ay down on the gro und
And the a rms and legs of other men
Were sc attered all aro und
Some c ursed some prayed some prayed then cursed
Then pr ayed and bled some m ore
And the o nly th ing that I could s ee
Was a pa ir of brown ey es that was loo king at m e
But w hen we got b ack labelled p arts one to t hree
There was no pair of b rown eyes w aiting for me
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
For a pa ir of brown ey es
I lo oked at him he looked at me
All I could do was h ate him
While r ay and philomena sang
Of m y elusive dr eam
I s aw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were wa iting
And I th ought ab out a p air of brown eyes
That wa ited once for m e
So dr unk to hell I left the place
Somet imes crawling sometimes w alking
A hu ngry sound came across the breeze
So I g ave the walls a talking
And I h eard the sounds of long ago
Fr om the old can al
And the b irds were w histling i n the tr ees
Where the wi nd was gently l aughing
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
For a pa ir of brown ey es
For a pa ir of b rown ey es
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
And a ro vin'a ro vin'a rov in'I'll go
For a pa ir of brown ey es
For a pa ir of b rown ey es
