In Memory of Frederico Garcia Lorca

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Came to love those sad eyes That could not hold their sorrow Looking out the window for hours Holding a cold cup of tea [Verse 2] Came to love those sad eyes That could not see beyond the pane The reflection of the candle wax Melting into a sea [Verse 3] Far away across the ocean Stones hold their history The light and airy window sash Is the lie of poetry [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] The fascists came, a sudden thud They overran Granada Books and papers on the floor Spectacles bent and broken [Verse 5] Came to love those sad eyes That held for us these memories Of the firing squad and the warm wind Blowing through the curtain cloth
