Leo O'kelly - Venezuela lyrics

The heavens hang low here in Venezuela, so proud the mountains shine a Thousand miles away The breeze blows free through the gra**lands of Venezuela, we're living at The edge of the world We pray for the day, we long for the night to come, through the ozone layer The yellow star blazed on It's only a mythology; we never know whatever is it couldn't be better Still only our sadness holds us apart, sorrow holds us together We reel in the glare here in Venezuela, through the shimmering haze we Watch the telescopes turn We swoon in the stare here in Venezuela, we fall and wither on a shadowless Plain Never surmount, no, never surpa**, no, never surrender How wearily, how bravely we drive the animals home In this Paradise the light just burns our faces Come the day those rays will shine on through
