Al Stewart - Always The Cause

Al Stewart - Always the Cause



Bad news over the great divide


Comes in from every side


Still hope won't be denied


There was always the Cause


There was always the Cause



Oh La Pasionara sang


This day, no pasaran!


It echoed out in Catalan


There was always the Cause


There was always the Cause



Mariposa


Late nights waiting on the via dolorosa


Hold me closer


Not long now, oh ma bella hermosa


There was always the Cause



Setbacks come at every turn


New ways are hard to learn


Tonight I saw Guernica burn


There was always the Cause


There was always the Cause



Mariposa


Late nights waiting on the via dolorosa


Hold me closer


Not long now, oh ma bella hermosa


There was always the Cause



Three years gone in the heart of Spain


He brings home a quiet pain


He'll never be that young again


There was always the Cause


There was always the Cause
