| Sit down here in the alley
|
| Where no one can see you cry
|
| Trouble dogs us like a shadow
|
| Though I cannot tell you why
|
| Life is a fine and fleeting moment
|
| Bittersweet and hard as stone
|
| I can’t change what fate has dealt you
|
| But no one should walk alone
|
| Fly Away La Paloma
|
| Take my love when you go
|
| Where no one can harm you
|
| And there’s nothing you need
|
| It’s not as far as we believe
|
| Somewhere a door is opening
|
| While another door is closed
|
| Sunset wraps its shawl of color
|
| From here to Mexico
|
| There’s the sound of wings around you
|
| Like the rustle of a skirt
|
| Gone before you know it
|
| All those tender little birds
|
| Fly Away La Paloma
|
| Take my love when you go
|
| Where no one can harm you
|
| And there’s nothing you need
|
| It’s not as far as we believe
|
| I dreamt I was walking
|
| In an old familiar country
|
| I thought I heard you singing
|
| But I think I was just hungry
|
| It’s so many years behind me
|
| Yet there’s really no escape
|
| No mater where we go
|
| We still take our own landscapes
|
| The full moon bows her head
|
| And the she’s putting on her veil
|
| A whippoorwill is calling
|
| And mourning dove exhale
|
| Smell the night jasmine blooming
|
| Someone’s turning down the sheets
|
| Forever opens up her arms
|
| As the rain washes the streets
|
| Fly Away La Paloma
|
| Take my love when you go
|
| Where no one can harm you
|
| And there’s nothing you need
|
| It’s not as far as we believe
|
| Fly Away La Paloma
|
| La Paloma
|
| Fly Away |
