Her Eyes Dart Round

O my love is light as a dove

Her skin is fair and dark is her hair

And her eyes dart 'round and fall on the ground

And her lips move along to an old country song

Down south you will find among the high pines

An old liquor store where we danced on the floor

O the light on the wall, it brightens the hall

But the room in the back is quiet and black

What keeps me alive is the green in your eyes

And the sweet distant drone of your voice on the phone

Could I hear, in death, your voice and your breath?

Could I hear them sounds in life underground?

O how likely she walks among the white stalks

And, crane in her neck, she steps 'round the deck

Could I bow in the sand to your lily white hand?

Can my head gently rest in your lily white breast?

O my love is light as a dove

Her skin is fair and dark is her hair

And her eyes dart 'round and fall on the ground

And her lips move along to an old country song
