From the recording Entre Las Americas

Lyrics

Living on the Sun

Day after day,
Where the dream shadows play
Jambalaya’s day is done
And all that was hope,
Now it swings from a rope
The passing tide was fun
Now, how did it happen ?
We had the action, we had it won
Day, day after day
There in your face, he stared and he shone
Now, now here we are boys
Alive in the stars
Here on the sun

Standing here parched,
‘Neath the bridge rainbow’s arch
The glory that was the West
You say to your neighbor,
Tell me who is this saviour
Who lives in this infinite jest
But, it’s not the same
We’ve not seen rain these last fourteen years
Now, at this late hour
See desert flowers bloom in your tears
Now, now here we are boys
Alive in the stars
