Decemberists Valencia Lyrics

Valencia Lyrics

You belong to the gang and you say you can't break away

But I'm here with my hands on my heart

And our families can't agree, I'm your brother's sworn enemy

But I'll shout out my love to the stars



So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go



When first we laid eyes, I swore to no compromise

'Til I felt my caress on your skin

Well, how soon we were betrayed, your sister gave us away

And your father came all unhinged



So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go



My O Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I swear to the stars, I'll burn this whole city down



All I heard was a shout of your brother calling me out

And you ran like a fool to my side

Well, the shot, it hit hard and your frame went limp in my arms

And an oath of love was your dying cry



So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll, go we'll go



My O Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I'll burn this whole city down



Valencia

With your blood gettin' cold on the ground

Valencia

And I swear to the stars, I'll burn this whole city down
