Brown Eyes & Rainy Nights
Brown eyes & rainy nights always take me back in time
To a girl from the poor side of town
I was young and lean, wearing Cammy Greens, shipping out in 20 days
But a love like ours could survive anything
She told me she would wait for me forever
Lonely days and lonely nights in a land so far away
It's enough to drive a strong man insane
It's the quiet times you hate the most when you long for her embrace
And the silence, it whispers her name
She told me she would wait for me forever
But love grows cold in a young woman's heart
When she finds herself left all alone
And the fires die fast in a long distance love
When you find yourself so far from home
Now a fool and his dreams they soon go separate ways
And you find yourself out in the rain
And ignorance is bliss, or so people say
But the ugly truth hurts just the same
She told be she would wait for me forever
Brown eyes & rainy nights always take me back in time
To a girl who had broken my heart
I'll never know why she walked away without a last good bye
She'll never know how that tore me apart
I was a fool to think she'd wait for me forever
Brown eyes & rainy nights always take me back in time
Enjoyed the listen. Well written lyrics, and even without reading them I'm understood every word. Playlisted.
