At the love you feel slipping away
I know all about these things
Grows a little bit fainter each day
If tears could release the heart
To the sun's bright corona
And you were my Mexican dove
And some other lover sings
Dreaming on after that moment's gone
But the morning brings
Linda Paloma
Like a wind that comes up in the night
Love will fill your eyes with the sight
Caressing your face while you sleep
You were filled with the beauty that ran
Through what you were imagining
Disappears in the light of the dawn
From the shadows preferred by the mind
I was the endless sky
Of a world you can't hope to keep
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love
Strength to your restless wings
Now the music that played in your ears
Though it's not the kind of love you might hope to find
And you find yourself looking through tears
The light in your lover's eyes
