Swallows Of San Juan Lyrics

Swallows of San Juan

Alejandro Escovedo - Real Animal Album 2008



Gonna crawl upon the shore

Roll in the mud and the clay

Like the swallows of San Juan

I'm gonna get back, someday



A thousand steps to the water

A thousand steps you must take

There's a thousand worlds on the a head of a pin

A thousand rules to
break



Next time you see me

I'm gonna smile for the
camera

Like some wild man from Pompei

Take my word, go down to the
sea

It's breaking bigger than anything, any of us have ever seen



I'm gonna crawl upon the shore

Roll in the mud and the clay

Like the swallows of San Juan

I'm gonna get back, someday



Had a blond TV special

And an English house staff

I lost some
??gold?? in a deal

But some day, some day I'll get em' back



Next time you see me

I'm gonna smile for the camera

Like some
wild man from Pompei

Take my word, go down to the sea

It's breaking
bigger than anything, anything I've ever seen



I'm gonna crawl upon
the shore

Roll in the mud and the clay

Like the swallows of San
Juan

I'm gonna get back, get back someday



I'm gonna get back
someday...

get back someday...

gonna get back someday...

yeeahhh, someday...

gonna get back someday...

get back....
