lyrics

Spain

Soft shades of gold
Brown-yellow hue
Cereals soak up the sun
That bakes the ground through which it grew

I am travelling through a countryside
It is so much vaster in my mind
Than the grey-green land where I reside

Brown terra firma
Red terracotta
White-washed walls and not a soul in sight
Throughout the heat of the afternoon
It’s just me and you

Lay me down beneath lofty poplars
Where the shaded grass is cool
There was a girl with long brown hair
And eyes so wide in the Spanish light

There we shared all our secrets
And promised to keep them true
Come what may, I’ll remember this day with you

Brown terra firma
Red terracotta
White-washed walls and not a soul in sight
Throughout the heat of the afternoon
It’s just me and you

Brown terra firma
Red terracotta
White-washed walls and not a soul in sight
Throughout the heat of the afternoon
It’s just me and you

Reinventors of self and prone to playing their songs in a myriad of ways, join Silverlode on their mythological journey through history, future, fantasy and good times via their ever-evolving music.
