Venezuela |
| [00:04.508] |
Keren Ann / Dayna Kurtz |
| [00:09.870] |
That was such a lovely dream |
| [00:14.625] |
The streets were golden in the sun |
| [00:20.910] |
I’ve never been to Venezuela |
| [00:23.525] |
but my family was all there |
| [00:26.466] |
and my mother looked so young |
| [00:31.971] |
Venezuela looked like Brooklyn |
| [00:37.703] |
Though the streets were twice as wide |
| [00:43.625] |
Children spun around the trees |
| [00:46.076] |
Little tops, little Sufis |
| [00:49.484] |
Mamas smile from inside |
| [00:55.711] |
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry |
| [01:00.825] |
for the love you saved for me |
| [01:06.939] |
but my heart is locked forever |
| [01:12.495] |
in another lovely dream |
| [01:18.610] |
He approached me like a prince |
| [01:23.690] |
and said he’s loved me all his life |
| [01:29.500] |
He said he knew that I’d come here |
| [01:32.388] |
that he’s been waiting all these years |
| [01:35.440] |
and I’m meant to be his wife |
| [01:41.401] |
And my sister was so jealous |
| [01:47.060] |
of the love he had for me |
| [01:52.687] |
She left, stomping ’cross the square |
| [01:55.683] |
Rigid arms, flying hair |
| [01:58.601] |
Her skirt had many layers |
| [02:01.193] |
and it bounced like Sandra Dee’s |
| [02:06.999] |
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry |
| [02:12.878] |
Whatever could I say |
| [02:18.602] |
to a man I’ve never met |
| [02:24.071] |
who’s the one who got away |
| [02:30.094] |
I cried to see his heart so plainly |
| [02:35.613] |
for he was such a formal man |
| [02:41.252] |
Handed to me like a daisy |
| [02:44.513] |
in the presence of my family |
| [02:47.579] |
from his damp and shaking hands |
| [02:53.359] |
I said - Fernando, I can’t stay here |
| [02:58.949] |
and a clock began to chime |
| [03:04.583] |
and I opened up my shirt |
| [03:07.414] |
and in its bony cage |
| [03:10.419] |
ticked a paper valentine |
| [03:16.307] |
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry |
| [03:21.823] |
for the love you saved for me |
| [03:27.758] |
But my heart is locked forever |
| [03:32.972] |
in another lovely dream |
