lyrics

In the heart of the town that cries for the sea
Where the bitter sting in the scent of the lemon trees
Hides among the whispers of the orange grove

I hear the tempest’s charge and the thunder of hoofs
rattle through the hollowed streets whilst high above the roofs
the fractured clouds disappear to show…

They show what I know…

The moon, the moon, the moon
Has a halo and my love has died
and if the same fate falls on me
leave the veranda open wide!

The bloodstains of the land tell the same story;
that in death there can never be glory
and the bullet holes in the church walls show

So here I stand, my arms open wide
Where the wailings of this life and the next collide
the fractured clouds disappear to show…

They show what I know…

The moon, the moon, the moon
Has a halo and my love has died
and if the same fate falls on me
leave the veranda open wide!
