[Verse 1]
One summer evening, drunk to hell
I sat there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
"Where the Water Lilies Grow"
And on the jukebox, Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's "How are you, kid?' and "What's your name?"
And "How'd you bloody know?
[Verse 2]
In blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
I laid down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed
Then prayed, then bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
[Chorus]
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
One summer evening, drunk to hell
I sat there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
"Where the Water Lilies Grow"
And on the jukebox, Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's "How are you, kid?' and "What's your name?"
And "How'd you bloody know?
[Verse 2]
In blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
I laid down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed
Then prayed, then bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
[Chorus]
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
