Bright Black Eyes Lyrics

The reaper came to repossess what was owed

Oh, you once said no one's ever alone

Hey there, Mr. Death, can you do me a favor?

Could you prove my lovely here wrong?

Oh, I could swear

You're still here

By the scent

Oh, I could swear

That was you

I heard just then

You once told me that we would be together

I held no hope but your smile's infectious

Hey you, Mr. Reaper, right on time

Wait just a moment I never said

Oh, I could swear

You're still here

By the scent

Oh, I could swear

It was your voice

I heard right then

Wait here Mr. Death, I have to say the word

I never got my chance to make good with her

I broke it off

I broke it up

And now she's gone

I have to say I'm sorry

Oh so sorry

Oh, I could swear

You're still here

By the scent

Oh, it's not fair

I never got my happy end

Your eyes, once bright and full of life

Are now black, all black

Your eyes, do they see a light?

Don't ignore me, turn away

Turn away
