Judy Collins - Dark Eyes Lyrics
Oh, the gentlemen are talking
And the midnight moon is on the riverside
They're drinking up and walking
And it is time for me to slide
Where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls
And all I see are dark eyes
A cock is crowing far away
And another soldier's deep in prayer
Some mother's child has gone astray
And she can't find him anywhere
But I can hear another drum
Whom nature's beast fears as they come
And all I see are dark eyes
They tell me to be discreet
For all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet
And from where they stand, I'm sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game
Where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel is heat and flame
And all I see are dark eyes
Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise
And a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy price
To the falling gods of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet
And passion rules the arrow that flies
A million faces at my feet
And all I see are dark eyes

Judy Collins Dark Eyes Comments
Dylans version was best on a patchy album.this is a great version
Superb.
"Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is
on the riverside,
They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me
to slide.
I live in another world where life and death are
memorized,
Where the earth is strung with lovers' pearls and all I
see are dark eyes.
A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep
in prayer,
Some mother's child has gone astray, and she can't find him
anywhere.
But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that
rise,
Whom nature's beast fears as they come and all I see
are dark eyes.
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes,
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they
stand, I'm sure it is.
But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes
unrecognized,
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark
eyes.
Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken
man is at the wheel,
Hunger pays a heavy price to the falling gods of speed
and steel.
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion
rules the arrow that flies,
A million faces at my feet and all I see are dark eyes."

I love this song for it has a message
I love Judy since I was young
What an arrangement.Breathtaking.Judy has been around forever and is a treasure I'll always value.Does Dylan beautifully!
Magnificent person and musician. I had the good fortune to meet her briefly in San Francisco in 2011 after her performance here. She was wonderful - warm, wise, and very funny. I will never forget it or her.
I love Judy Collins.
Hurt and pain, everywhere. Most neither see or care. And I care nothing for their game, where beauty goes unrecognized. And all I see are dark eyes.
Said perfectly
