lyrics

Shadows of these faces, faces of the sea..
wherever do you come from, where soon will you be?
In a land where the moon dances all the night naked
& with a knife sharp and sacred, brings us all to our knees.
Riding the mule now only God is left
The devil is in heaven where he's built a nest
We leave the sea for Andrea's where we'll dry out our bones..
near the stone house & the fountain, that is Andrea's home

Wayundye



In Andrea's kitchen, who will we know?
A sailor from a voyage many years ago?
& at the people of Lugano the pickpocket grins, he thinks the best part of the sea bass is the tail & the fin
& girls from good families, they smell like coffee and spring...
without fear of disease, you can hear them all sing

Wayundye

What should we give to these starving souls?
To fill their glasses & to fill their bowls?
A plate of fried fish & Portofino wine...& maybe lamb's brain cooked in that very same wine.
Lasagne from the kitchen, about four layers deep...
roof rabbit cooked in sauce: both sour and sweet.

Wayundye

In the drunken boat we'll navigate the rocks,
nails in our eyes & we don't use the clocks
Harvest the morning when it's good & time,
& down the crooked narrow stairs we wind
You know, this old rotten rope can guide you & me, we can follow it down this path to the sea

This old rotten rope, with its wind-blown scars, we can follow it down this Crêuzä de Ma
