Ely Joe Run Preciosa Lyrics

Run Preciosa Lyrics

I saw her in the barrio



In the town where the brothers fought



Across the river from the Moorish Mosque



That the Spanish Christians bought



Her hair was dressed by Vesps



Woven in the leather wind



She grew up int the country



You could see it in her innocent grin







Run Preciosa, Run for love



The olive trees need rain



Memories of your gypsy past



Still ride on the midnight train



Your lover's heart was way too wild



You saw it in his face



You walk the graveyard with his child



In a veil of Spanish lace







The son of Tony Camborio



Drove a souped up Red Renault



With a muffler rusted as the red wrought iron



Around his father's burial vault



The Civil Guards raise their sleepy heads



When she spins to watch the car change lanes



Tho so many years have passed



Not that much has changed











Run Preciosa, Run for love



The olive trees need rain



Memories of your gypsy past



Still ride on the midnight train



Your lover's heart was way too wild



You saw it in his face



You walk the graveyard with his child



In a veil of Spanish lace















The hours paint the whitewashed walls



In shadows of Lavender-grey



Preciosa counts the ring of bells



From the church where the white doves lay



The flashing lights of the Civil Guard



Around a red renault they flash



Not that much has really changed,



Tho so much time has passed...
