Shadows of the Sierra

Verse 1

Dry clay

Beneath the heavy leather heel

Cracking

Dust rises like a ghost

Iron

Bitter taste of rusty water

Cold well

Forgotten

Ancient olive trees bending low

Silver leaves

Chorus

Andalucía

My red earth bleeding

Andalucía

Shadows of the mountain

Andalucía

Andalucía

The river runs dry

The river runs dry

Post-Chorus

Ay ay ay

Ay ay

Ay

Verse 2

Black lace

Draped across a wooden chair

Silent

Sweat on the collar

Salt

Stinging eyes at noon

Burning

Waiting

Heavy bells are tolling deep

Stone walls

Chorus

Andalucía

My red earth bleeding

Andalucía

Shadows of the mountain

Andalucía

Andalucía

The river runs dry

The river runs dry

Bridge

Torn maps

Broken roads

Lost paths

I walk I wait I weep

No rain for the thirsty

No bread for the table

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Andalucía

My red earth bleeding

Andalucía

Shadows of the mountain

Andalucía

Andalucía

The river runs dry

The river runs dry

Outro

Dust

Just dust

Settling down

On the white road

Walking away

Walking away

Away

Ay
