Now my work is done I feel I'm owed some joy Oh Imogene and Abelard I'm your homeward boy But there's another one Who brings me to your door And the boat she weaved from the tidal reeds Was always tied to shore
With bright smiles and dark eyes Bright smile dark eyes Everywhere I went, oh I was always looking for ya Bright smile dark eyes
I'm looking for some peace But it's so hard to find With Calamity Janes and the Steamboat Casanovas And Darling Clementines If she's your only one Then she is also mine Just pin your heartbeat up against my heartbeat And you'll see how well we rhyme
With bright smiles and dark eyes Bright smile dark eyes Everywhere I went, oh I was always looking for ya Bright smile dark eyes
Man is only half himself The other half is a bright thing He tumbles on by luck or grace For man is ever a blind thing
Bright smiles and dark eyes Bright smile dark eyes Everywhere I went, oh I was always looking for ya Bright smile dark eyes
