Spanish 411 - Von Hertzen Brothers

She came along down in Quezaltenango

April 11th '99

I’d been driven by my worried mind

Through these strange lands towards

Something I couldn’t quite define

Her Spanish eyes full of sorrow

Yet whole being so divine

Oh, that night, that night

I felt free and her appearance felt like a sign

The second she was to leave

I felt the earth tremble, stars assemble

And the shimmering sky fall crashing down

And I heard somebody speak

With my own voice

Asking for some light for a cigarette

Of a special northern kind

I mean, how could I have been so blind?

Every single minute was ablaze with our fire

That burned through the night rushing by

We were one, oh and she was destined to become

The Love, Love of my life

I wanted her along

So I went for my guitar and played a love song

And I tried and I tried to convince her to follow

But she said:

«No, If you gotta leave, you’re gonna leave all alone»

I could never ever leave

You made my earth tremble

My insurmountable walls come crashing down

She told me not to speak

And without a word she put flowers in her hair

And like a waft of air

She took her love elsewhere

Oh, my Love!

All I see in every woman

All I see in every man

A conspiracy to shatter our «stars-written-plan»

Together, Forever

I will catch our stars and wake their shine

Together, Forever

Gonna find you and make you mine

We never met again

The way it was meant to be

Oh no, nor did we ever see

The fulfillment of our destiny

And I can’t find a place

To stand, to sit, to crawl to

'Cause your spell under which I surely fell

Did never leave me girl, never left me alone

Now, I’m trying to live without your love

In this hazy flow

The wasted years are passing by in an endless row

If these are the days to exhaust my faith in us

I won’t give in

I’m hanging by this thread

We’re lovers in my head

Till the graveyard is our bed
