Lights of Spain

This one's for my brother, man
Heavy heart, had a tough life
Dreamy eyes fixated on distant shores, oh yeah
So he packs all his memories
Puts them all in a rucksack
And take a trip through the Sahara desert for a fee, oh yeah

So he will go on the road again
May the gods ride by your side
Roll and toss and bump along, oh yeah

Through the pains and the horrors
And many bones turn to dust
On the camel, on the truck to the seething sea, oh yeah
Some give up in the middle
Some will be turned around
But everyone will lose a bit of his soul, oh yeah

So here we stand at the shore of hope
Cold and numb and drained of life
But the lights of Spain they call
Oh yeah, here we come

I seek a sign in the rising sun
I seek a union with the moon
I'm a struggling man with no place to call home
I seek a sign in the whispering winds

So remember Mister Border Man
I've travelled, come a long, long way
And there's no going back to the hell I left behind, oh yeah
And I ask for the heavens above
Send me back to the world again
But next time let me be of lighter shade, oh yeah

So wake me up when this dream is over
Now we'll be landing in a while
And all the pain will be no more, oh yeah

I seek a sign in the rising sun
I seek a union with the moon
I'm a lost soul with no one to call friend
I seek a sign in the whispering winds
