lyrics
pretty eyes oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes oh those pretty eyes
they open just a little too wide
deep inside great ships collide
the sailors shipwrecked upon her shore
live not to tell the sirens alure
they just vainly gaze at the open sky
and mindlessly mutter
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
like jewels that sparkle in the sand
torches burning in distant lands
crossing rivers and braving seas
clawing at locks which have no key
climbing walls wearing hangmans ties
for those
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes oh those pretty eyes
open just a little too wide
wide enough to fall inside
forever there the remains may hide
usurped in whole by an irised tide
those pretty eyes
those pretty eyes
beware young lads
adrift and lost
each treasure has its equal cost
and those precious gems that stare back at you
make take their fill well before you do
many a man damn his demise on those
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes oh those pretty eyes
open just a little too wide
well within we live and die
disappear in the fog never to return
follow the light that slowly burns
when the fire goes out there'll be no surprise
another soul lost to those
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
pretty eyes
oh those pretty eyes
