Broken vows

ah-ah

you say God bless
what else now in your party town
you won’t rest tonight
the party is alight
and the people are pretty
ah-ee-ah-ee-ah
la-la

blue eyes, you changed your vows
now we have parted in doubt
no doubt at all
no reasoning enough

– ‘hawaiian’ sounding guitar solo

and rest my love
until death does fly you away
the time will come
when forgetful’s easier

– more guitar solo
ah-ah
ooh-ee-ooh

when forgetful’s easier
and rest my love
rest my love
when forgetful is easier

commentary
Obviously a song directed to an unfaithful love, but can anyone supply the correct lyrics so we can get a handle on the expression, please?
