All The Lies Of Spain

Words by Dave Maswick and Michael Jerling
Music by Dave Maswick

Listen to the mp3

Sometimes I almost forget it
Standing in the golden light
Your kiss unfolds like a flower
In deep red wine

Now I'm alone on the platform
The movie turns to black and white
Your train rolls out of the station
And out of sight

Still I go to work each morning
and I fill the day somehow
'Cause you said you'd never leave me
and I'd be with you right now

Somewhere a candle burns for every broken promise
Somewhere a candle burns for each unanswered prayer
But I won't toll the bells for every tear that's fallen
'Cause tears won't wash away your sins and all the lies of Spain

Sometimes I wish I could go home
To a place that I fit in
But now I'm always a stranger
In my own skin

Sometimes I feel like a small town
On the prairie in the night
Then your train roars through the crossing
And out of sight
