CAVES OF ALTAMIRA
|
|
I recall when I was small
|
How I spent my days alone
|
The busy world was not for me
|
So I went and found my own
|
I would climb the garden wall
|
With a candle in my hand
|
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
|
On the stone an ancient hand
|
In a faded yellow-green
|
Made alive a worldly wonder
|
Often told but never seen
|
Now and ever bound to labor
|
On the sea and in the sky
|
Every man and beast appeared
|
A friend as real as I
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall
|
When there wasn't even any Hollywood
|
They heard the call
|
And they wrote it on the wall
|
For you and me we understood
|
|
Can it be this sad design
|
Could be the very same
|
A wooly man without a face
|
And a beast without a name
|
Nothin' here but history
|
Can you see what has been done
|
Memory rush over me
|
Now I step into the sun
|
|
CHORUS
