La Paloma Lyrics

V: S&#[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e43308-carrie_newcomer~la_paloma_lyrics.html ]
105;t down here in the alley
Where no one can see you cry
Trouble dogs us like a shadow
Though I cannot tell you why
Life is a fine and fleeting moment
Bittersweet and hard as stone
I can't change what fate has dealt you
But no one should walk alone
Ch: Fly Away La Paloma
Take my love when you go
Where no one can harm you
And there's nothing you need
It's not as far as we believe
V: Somewhere a door is opening
While another door is closed
Sunset wraps its shawl of color
From here to Mexico
There's the sound of wings around you
Like the rustle of a skirt
Gone before you know it
All those tender little birds
Ch: Fly Away La Paloma
Take my love when you go
Where no one can harm you
And there's nothing you need
It's not as far as we believe
Br: I dreamt I was walking
In an old familiar country
I thought I heard you singing
But I think I was just hungry
It's so many years behind me
Yet there's really no escape
No mater where we go
We still take our own landscapes
V: The full moon bows her head
And the she's putting on her veil
a whippoorwill is calling
And mourning dove exhale
Smell the night jasmine blooming
Someone's turning down the sheets
Forever opens up her arms
As the rain washes the streets
Ch:
Ch: Fly Away La Paloma
La Paloma
Fly Away
