Common Market Madrigal Lyrics

(by G. Slick)



In your arms, in your eyes

I can see the Paris lights

And the warm Italian nights

Seems like summertime just flies



Through so many skies we've flown

So many lands we've come to know

And we watch our love just grow

Till the winter brings us home



No time gives us reasons for why it just goes by

And no man can stop the seasons

But so many men will try



We will travel thes ancient lands

And our minds will learn to fly

We will hear all the music of man

Learn to love before we die



In these lands ruled by kings

The enchanted princess sings

And all the fairy tales she knew

The seet lies we thought were true



But the castles on the Rhein

Never seem to mind the time

That will take them slowly back

Into history's memorized lines



Wooden shoes and tulips in Holland

English guards with medieval swords

Conquistadors and Spanish galleons

Vikings sailing the mountain fjords



We will travel these ancient lands

And our minds will learn to fly

We will hear all the music of man

Learn to love before we die



In your arms, in your eyes

I can see the Paris lights

And the warm Italian nights

Semms like summertime just flies
