EDDY'S SONG (Utah Phillips)
Standing in your shadow, afraid to go outside I could listen to your music all night long But the world keeps on changing, there's still no place to hide I know that we can't change it with a song
Chorus: One hand on the keyboard, moonlight fills the room One hand on the Ebro, no regrets One hand on tomorrow, reaching for the sun One hand on the sun that never sets
The white cliffs of Gandessa lie sleeping in the rain I guess some places always have their kings Now I hear you singing the forgotten songs of Spain And I wish we could remember all those things
Chorus
I thought that I had trouble when I was on the loose That must have been a carnival instead And now I hear our children singing, 'What's the use?' And they drop a little something for their head
