lyrics

Dead-eyed Darling you knew me well
When stars were bright and angels fell
You went to my head, I was drunk for a spell
But what a time it was, it was!

Dead-eyed Darling your light just shone
Laughing eyes, warm like the sun
I drank you up ‘till you were gone
Then you filled my cup again, again

Now Dead-eyed Darling your love’s run dry
Your cold winter smile just makes me cry
I’m killing myself just wondering why
You’ve closed the door on me, on me

Good-bye darling, darling goodbye
Good-bye darling, darling goodbye

Dead-eyed Darling your love’s run cold
I’ve been so sad and it’s getting old
‘Cause you’re a million miles from home
Laying next to me, next to me

Dead-eyed Darling tuck me in tight
Kiss me goodnight and turn out the light
You’re done with me and I’m too tired to fight
Just leave me the hell alone, alone

Dead-eyed Darling you knew me well
When stars were bright and angels fell
You went to my head, I was drunk for a spell
But what a time it was, it was!
What a time it was!
What a time it was!
What a time it was!
