June Tabor - Finisterre lyrics
[June Tabor - Finisterre lyrics]
Sleep away the afternoon
Just rocking with the tide
Drinking with the moon
I found a ticket in my pocket
All the way from Port-of-Spain
And the warm wind from the
Indies covered me again
Santander, the sky is falling
The tale we told each other has an end
Santander, to hear me calling
You, that never lost a friend
We'd often look for gold
Treasure buried in the sand
We hid it long ago before our wars began
When the world was green and early
And time was on our side
Before the storm got up to
Blow us far and wide
Santander, the sky is falling
The tale we told each other has an end
Santander, to hear me calling
You, that never lost a friend
Farewell, Finisterre
Sleep away the afternoon
Just rocking with the tide
Drinking with the moon
Last night I turned the glasses over
And I drank the bottle dry
The moon stared out to sea all
Night and so did I
Santander, the sky is falling
The tale we told each other has an end
Santander, to hear me calling
You, that never lost a friend
Never lost a friend
