about

A song for Thomas and Lucinda. bit.ly/3WisKUS

lyrics

Built it all for me 100 years ago
On the jewel-tipped side of Gulf of Mexico
You wait there still in that pink hotel
By the Spanish tiles of our wishing well

So shall we dance as our pages turn
Our letters lost forever, we watch them burn
Shall we dance under blushing sky
How could they know we never said goodbye
So shall we dance

In a feint mirage over snow white sand
A shake of raven hair, we are hand in hand
A London stage to a land afar
Maritana's love for her Don CeSar

So shall we dance as our pages turn
Our letters lost forever, we watch them burn
Shall we dance under blushing sky
How could they know we never said goodbye
So shall we dance

Infinite time fades oldest sorrows
They melt like summers never shared til now
In rushing tides and winds that quarrel
We float like feathers soft above the ground
We will be found

Built it all for me 100 years ago
On the jewel-tipped side of Gulf of Mexico
You wait there still in that pink hotel
By the Spanish tiles of our wishing well
