They had a white face, they had black eyes
They had burns all over their bodies
They had love for my revulsion
And they kissed away my repulsion
They had a white face and black eyes
Their father came from across the sea
To rescue, to rescue, to rescue me
He said, "If you spend all your heart
On something that has died
You are not alive and that can't be a life"
Love what you can, love what you can till it dies
And let it lie
Let it fly away
Love what you can, love what you can till it dies
And let it lie
Let it fly away
He had a white face, he had black eyes
He had burns all over his body and he was right
