Lyrics
Cool April morning
I left my home town
Melting the frost off my car and my heart, I just drove
Always further south, til I came to Veracruz
When I met her she was out on the balcony
Drying her long black hair
In the sun
We drank tequila
And she taught me her language
Night after night, we stayed out until dawn, just to dance
And I could read the poem in her deep dark soulful eyes
When I kissed her we were out on her balcony
Wind in her long black hair
In the sun
[bridge]
I let myself fall
Dreamed that we would live forever
Then came a day
I heard something change
In her voice
She had moved on...
Dark gray November
Driving home thru a hailstorm
Yes she was always very much on my mind, I just drove
And I can only wonder when this hurt will ever fade
When I left her she was out on the balcony
Tying her long black hair
When I left her she was out on her balcony...
In the sun
