Eddy’s Song

Standing in your shadow, afraid to go outside.
I could listen to your music all night long
But the world keeps on changing, there’s still no place to hide.
I know that we can’t change it with a song.

Chorus:
One hand on the keyboard, moonlight fills the room.
One hand on the Ebro, no regrets.
One hand on tomorrow, reaching for the sun.
One had on the sun that never sets.

The white cliffs of Gandessa lie sleeping in the rain.
I guess some places always have their kings.
Now I hear you singing the forgotten songs of Spain
And I wish I could remember all those things.

I thought that I had trouble when I was on the loose.
That must have been a carnival instead.
And now I hear our children singing “What’s the use?”
And they drop a little something for their head.

After Eddy heard the recording of this song, he asked me to change this word to “can.”
