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
That brings me to your door
And the boat you weaved from the tidal reeds
Was always tied to shore
With bright smiles and dark eyesI'm looking for some peace
Bright smile dark eyes
Everywhere I went oh
I was always searching for your
Bright smile dark eyes
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 eyesMan is only half himself
Bright smile dark eyes
Everywhere I went oh
I was always looking for your
Bright smile dark eyes
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 your
Bright smile dark eyes
