[Verse

Black eyes in the moonlight, staring through my soul,

Down the lonesome highway, where the cold winds roll,

Whispers in the shadows, secrets left untold,

Black eyes in the moonlight, turning hearts to coal.

[Verse 2

Coal fires in the distance, burning through the night,

Hearts are set on fleeing, caught in the dark light,

Empty bottles breaking, echoes of the fight,

Black eyes in the moonlight, driven by our plight.

[Chorus

Black eyes, black eyes, haunting every dream,

Through the fields of sorrow, nothing as it seems,

Silent tears are falling, down my face they stream,

Black eyes, black eyes, tearing at the seams.

[Verse 3

Dusty roads behind us, future out of sight,

Walking in a daze now, blinded by the fright,

Nothing left to guide us, no star shining bright,

Black eyes in the moonlight, lost within the night.

[Bridge

Midnight wind is howling, calling out our names,

In the grip of darkness, no one takes the blame,

Shadows stretch before us, no one sounds the same,

Black eyes in the moonlight, playing their dark game.

[Chorus

Black eyes, black eyes, haunting every dream,

Through the fields of sorrow, nothing as it seems,

Silent tears are falling, down my face they stream,

Black eyes, black eyes, tearing at the seams.
