Jackson Browne - 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 Linda paloma
