YOUR SPANISH SCARF
written by Dan Blakeslee

Riding on a plane to see my baby,

My mind won’t stop, I’ve got to see you now.

The wide ocean blue that kept us distant,

Only in miles, ‘cause I was always there with you.



Soon we’ll walk in the night ‘neath Giralda Tower,

By the flickering moonlight.

In the morning I’ll wake in the arms of my wife.



“Donde los taxis por favor?” I plead please.

But took the underground, the swift rails carried me.

In my delirium from foreign tongues,

On the AVE I hear, your voice, my longing dear.



I search the hills on the road to Sevilla,

No you cannot hide, your face I spy every mile.

We’ll see Cathedrals of Spain through golden beams,

The olive countryside, Gaudi, poppies and wine.



I deboard the train onto the platform,

My boots are worn, sleep just about took my speed.

Then a long woolen scarf from the rail above me,

Where her green beacon shines, as they seek my blue.



Into my legs great strength did come,

Her tide was pulling me, and I went helplessly.

The radiance from her embrace,

Tied the clock hands still, and was enough to part the sea.
