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 searching 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
