What you`re sayin` it never really crossed my mind
I hear playin` and everybody`s keepin` time
I`m recallin` that girl I met in London town
She was strange, young and tender and narrowed all my choices down
Chorus:
We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine, English Eyes
I was tryin` to read her lips and knew the time was drawing near
I forgot what she said but I remember how she whispered in my ear
I can hear laughter coming from the places we once knew
There were stories from a stranger out of nowhere but they seemed so true
chorus
English Eyes, English Eyes
(Instrumental break)
English Eyes
Red sky warning, girl you really put a spell on me
Never told me `bout the daddy you refused to please
You took the bishop when the king was standing right in front of you
There`s nothing in it if I can`t have a girl with eyes like you
