Bright Smile - Josh Ritter

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 searching 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

With bright smiles and dark eyes

Bright smile dark eyes

Everywhere I went oh

I was always searching for ya

Bright smile dark
