John Cale Andalucia Lyrics

Andalucia, when can I see you
When it is snowing out again
Farmer John wants you
Louder and softer, closer and dearer
Then again
Needing you, taking you
Keeping you, leaving you
In a year and a day, to be sure
That your face doesn't alter
Your words never falter -- I love you

I'll be here waiting, later and later
Hoping the night will go away
Andalucia, Castles and Christians
Andalucia, come to stay
You were lost, once before,
on a day much like this
When you'd made up your mind not to come
And I couldn't persuade you
Or wait till tomorrow -- or pass the time
