Al Stewart - News from Spain

I have heard the news from Spain


Now you say you've mamy things yet to be learning


And you don't know if or when you'll be returning


It depends on how


Everything works out


If it can somehow


In Carvajal





And I have heard the news from Spain


Now you've found someone you don't have to be tied to


And he dried your eyes, and later he lay beside you


As the simple wine


Of the flow of time


Pulled us out of rhyme


In Carvajal





Into a taxi and down to the airport


In only the clothes I was standing in


A scribbled address, a toothbrush, a passport


The money we saved in the biscuit tin


Running afraid to a strange Spanish town


Searching the sands and the shoreline...





And I have heard the news from Spain


Now the Winter winds possess the Southern reaches


And the sea folds like a mantle on the beaches


And the crowds have gone


And I've left my song


To be killed alone
