about

The talented Abe Madridejo laid down some sweet strings on this old tune.

lyrics

She whispers of cigarettes
Grand plays of the theatre
Of dreams were once dreamt
In the shade once wept under.

I hear tales of Carnivals singing
Familiar tunes I never knew
Broken bottles they shine like diamonds
Sings her song long before you.

Broken city likes upon the shore
Lovers' picnic in that time long past
Graffiti wastes away the rain
And her laughter, she still holds fast.

I hear tales of a city that's dead
Broken promises they still ring true
Skateboards grind away the day
She says a time long before you.

Her canvas, the entire sky
Brush breached unto the earth
The ocean's ink was dipped and swirled
And her shadows paint your lonely church.

I hear tales of a masterpiece
Sun reached, for her paints she flew
Lover's heartbeat was wrapped in plastic
She paints her time long before you.

Long before you.
