David McWilliams- Brown Eyed Girl

I had not been in London town
Many more weeks then three
When I fell in love with a brown eyed girl
Not knowing what a fool I'd be.

She sang to me, in a voice like wine
And her guitar wove a spell
She sang to me of the joys of love
And her eyes the same did tell

The lights shone bright in that smoky room
And the talking and wine flowed free
And our mouths spoke a language of their own
And she said she would come with me

She put away her strings and steel
Saying she would sing no more
But that she wait at home for me
Keep a lantern at my door

A year and a day have passed and gone
Since she vowed to be true
Now she's no longer at my door
Gone like morning dew

I lie so lonely in my bed
My pocket's empty now
She's gone back from where she came
To the music and the crowd
