Angel Of Murcia

I don’t know where you came from
Alicante, you say
You picked me off the dancefloor
With grace
And we spent a night of passion
As the taxi cabs went flashing by outside
There was something irresistible about you
And the way your heart caught mine
And I don’t where we’re going
Our fates hang so fine
You work unholy hours
While I just sit and rhyme
You wander through the city dressed in pink
With me clinging on behind
And your wisdom hits like tidal waves
Crashing on the cold rocks of my mind
You’re my Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Face full of danger
Hips in excelsia
Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Out in the city
Hiding my underwear
I know you’re something special
I feel it deep inside
Your words spring from La Huerta
And linger in my mind
You’re the gypsy-hearted master
Of elliptical design
‘Til the shadows come and claim us
May we travel for a while
You’re my Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Face full of danger
Hips in excelsia
Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Out in the city
Hiding my underwear
You’re my Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Face full of danger
Hips in excelsia
Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Out in the city
You’re my Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Face full of danger
Catching me unawares
Angel of Murcia
Gracias aplena
Out in the city
Maybe I'll join you there

Stray Lover
I have discovered
Your place in my heart
Was just a mirage so goodbye
Goodbye
For a brief moment
I was left hoping
That love would erupt
But I guess it was lust all the time
And all through the night
You see, I took the blows
From my Lady Rose
Now the night’s passed out
And I need my clothes
You let your feelings slip
Down the lonely line
Now I cross the bridge
And I’m leaving you behind
Lights dimming
Led to night sinning
In the pool of your bed
Where sweet words were said and denied
Dead words of mine
But quickly
Did the fire leave me
And you sought your escape
From the lonely malaise of our lie
Of our sweet lie

To Know You

Like a summer breeze
You’re a breath of hope to me
But oh so quietly
Are you whispering to me
And in the hurting room
I see the flowers in full bloom
I want to walk with you
Through the endless nights of June
Past the careless clutter of the drunken tribes
We’ll take a lover’s path beyond the bounds of time and fly
And we’ll share the secrets of our hungry minds
We’ll feel the touch of earth as our hearts entwine and sigh
And I’ve had my dreams before
Dragged like fish onto the shore
But still my heart endures
Through the chaos and the storms
And maybe you’re the one
That I can rest my head upon
But love’s so hard to find
So I’m left to sing my song
Past the careless clutter of the drunken tribes
We’ll take a lover’s path beyond the bounds of time and fly
And we’ll share the secrets of our hungry minds
We’ll feel the touch of earth as our hearts entwine and sigh

For Deia

I saw you sprayed out
On the rocks before me
I don’t think that you saw me
Would it matter anyway?
And with your briefs half-on
And the ocean roaring
I felt loneliness calling
Out at me again
Sometimes you’ve got to go
Out there on your own
In the summer
Just a lost soul flying solo in the heat
And the waves will flow
Without a care
Like the spray dripping from her hair
Dragging you deep
And with my brother’s words
Blowing holes in my cover
It’s time to order another
Glass of chaos and pain
Where the cool school meet
Sharing moments of glory
Is this heaven before me
Or hell by some other name?
Sometimes you’ve got to go
Out there on your own
In the summer
Just a lost soul flying solo in the heat
And the waves will flow
Without a care
Like the spray dripping from her hair
Dragging you deep

Broken Dream

When I was a young boy
I came ‘round this way
And I would play
With my father on the sands
The hillsides framed the magic
Of each fresh dawning day
So faraway
As I walk these streets again
There’s twenty years between us
That image in my mind
And the time
Hasn’t always been too kind
I struggled as a young man
In a world that made no sense
I can’t pretend
That I’ve left those days behind
But I owe that little boy
The chance of better days
‘Cos I fought to stay alive
To walk around these streets again
So with daddy back at home
And my brother across the town
I take a trip out on my own
And face my past right in the eye
When I was a young boy
I came ‘round this way
And I would play
With my father on the sands
The hillsides framed the magic
Of each fresh dawning day
So faraway
As I walk these streets again
To the hotel where we went
And a beach bar on the front
And the children take my place
With their dads beneath the sun
There’s a ghost I must erase
As I shuffle through the streets
I talk to people from the past
And they share my broken dream
They share my broken dream
They share my broken dream
They share my broken dream
They share my broken dream
