Intro: ()    [pause]

                                                                      
At the moment the music began, and you heard the guitar player starting sing

                                                                   
You were filled with the beauty that ran, through what you were imagining

                                                             
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love, I was the endless sky

                       
And you were my Mexican dove.


                                                                      
Now the music that played in your ears, grows a little bit fainter each day

                                                                         
And you find yourself looking through tears, at the love you feel slipping away

                                                  
Though it's not the kind, of love you might hope to find

                                                                  
If tears could release the heart, from the shadows preferred by the mind

Interlude: ()    x 2


                                                                     
Like a wind that comes up in the night, caressing your face while you sleep

                                                                     
Love will fill your eyes with the sight, of a world you can't hope to keep

                                                              
Dreaming on after that moment's gone, the light in your lover's eyes

                                                    
Disappears in the light of the dawn, but the morning brings, strength to your

                                                            
restless wings, and some other lover sings to the sun's bright corona,

 [pause]                                 ()   
I know all about these things, Linda Paloma.

      ...               
Fly away...Linda Paloma.
