Browne Jackson Linda Paloma Lyrics

Linda Paloma Lyrics

At the moment the music began

 And you heard the guitar player starting to sing

 You were filled with the beauty that ran

 Through what you were imagining

 Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love

 I was the endless sky

 And you were my Mexican dove

 

 Now the music that played in your ears

 Grows a little bit fainter each day

 And you find yourself looking through tears

 At the love you feel slipping away

 Though it's not the kind

 Of love you might hope to find

 If tears could release the heart

 From the shadows preferred by the mind

 

 Like a wind that comes up in the night

 Caressing your face while you sleep

 Love will fill your eyes with the sight

 Of a world you can't hope to keep

 Dreaming on after that moment's gone

 The light in your lover's eyes

 Disappears with the light of the dawn

 

 But the morning brings

 Strength to your restless wings

 And some other lover sings

 To the sun's bright corona

 I know all about these things

 Linda Paloma

 Fly away
