(the) Eyes Of Santa Lucia by Brave Combo

I can remember them
Blue as the ocean
Whenever i drew nigh
Blue as a stormy sky
Ever so sisterly
I would advise her
Looking into her eyes
Doomed as a falling star
Refrain:

L & c: my dear lucia
Why can't you see me?
L: santa lucia, is what they'll call thee
L & c: eyes once gazed lovingly
So veiled in purity
Santa lucia, santa lucia

All your sisters have wed
Just as expected
As the most beautiful
You've been selected

L & c: that's when our father said
"lucy must marry"
She said, "i'd rather die"
And then she scared me

Refrain

L: and like the waters (carl echoes)
Of pure devotion (carl echoes)
She'd rather love god(carl echoes)
With all emotion
Jesus, he is the lord (carl echoes)
Why can't you see it?
And so she plucked her eyes
Out in his spirit.

Refrain
