As we go awandering

More Abba lyrics; yes indeed, they can even make me bop to the Spanish Revolution, amazing I tell you!

Now we’re old and gray Fernando
Since many years I haven’t seen a rifle in your hands
Can you hear the drums Fernando
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend Fernando

Abba, “Fernando”

“Setanta at the Gate” by James Griffin

Some lyrics from non-Abba folks:

Still we pray for better days now
God willing it’s for the best
But I’ve just seen the harp on a penny
And a dollar on her naked breast

Jimmy MacCarthy, “Mystic Lipstick”

Don’t be afraid
Close your eyes
Lay it on down
Don’t you cry
Can’t you see I’m going
Where I can see the sun rise
I’ve been talking to my angel
And he said that it’s all right

Melissa Etheridge, “Talking to My Angel”

Okie dokie; now, just a little whitter from last night.

At the heart of it all
is a welcome to you
yours alone
to all that I am
all there is of me to give

I would find a way
if you would have this heart
beating beside yours
though time must go further
and the world allow it

All always
and if sometimes you whisper
yes
because it is the wind that lifts me
our time shines bright in my vision
