Bright Black Eyes Lyrics

Bright Black Eyes lyrics

I thought that I knew where my heart it had landed

I thought that I'd worked it all out

I thought she'd be willing to hold me at night

And I thought that that's what I would want



But I was a blind man in love with a demon

And I couldn't 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 can't take it

I'd 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 couldn't find, oh oh



Don't talk to me about love

This has nothing to do with that word

This is just good old fashioned exploitation

You're 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

It's 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
