FINISTERRE

farewell Finisterre, sleep away the afternoon
rocking with the tide, drinking with the moon
I found a ticket in my pocket all the way from Port of Spain
and a warm wind from the Indies carried me again

Santander, the sky is falling
the tale we told each other has an end
Santander, d'you hear me calling?
you that never lost a friend

we look and 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

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, d'you hear me calling?
you that never lost a friend
never lost a friend
