Dark Eyes

A wrestlers night out of the rain
Back of the bar where the cool girls are
I was putting in my own time
Just trying to stay out of my own mind
When in ancient tongues she came to me
Said hey baby do you wanna meet
The sweetest sin you'll ever find
With no honest way of staying off your mind
And then the time had come for me to leave there
Out on the corner of the street
Looking back and cutting through the night
Dark eyes driving stakes right through my feet

Now I'm dancing with the flame
Holding my finger close til it don't even look the same
Branded with an ashen ring
A black halo that bears your name
Like moths to fire
Her candle is dripping
Burning new lines in their bodies
Chewing holes in the minds
Of these men who've lined up
Just to bow at her beauty
On bended knee has never been my style
But oh if I could feel that heat
Just like I did for the longest short while
I'd let it burn until there was nothing left
Watch it light up those dark eyes so close to mine

Now the moon pulls me over dark waters
To trace those new lines that she's made in the sea
Waiting in the sand in the place we'd be meeting
Where all beauty has fallen at her feet
I go back on those times so often now
How does one ever forget
A lonesome ocean but never more apart
Than those dark eyes burning holes straight through my chest
