Spanish Lullaby from California Rain by Just Like Inara

Spanish Lullaby

In a small Spanish villa
A seniorita so fair
The essence of passion
Flowered the air

Stood a great caballero
Young Javier
Off to fight enemigo
Much to Marta's despair

Kiss me once as you're leaving
Hold me close til you're gone
And I'll sing you this song

Days and weeks slowly passing
...not a word
The battle's long over
Dead and buried observed

Javier never hear from
But her youth remained
The heart that was broken
She buried with the pain

Kiss another comfort
Hold your lover in vain
It's just not the same

As she strolled through market
Marta's baby in tow
Stood a brave Javier, oh...
Not a person he'd know

A mortar's blunt fragment
Stole his mind and his past
His love and his comfort
Were erased by the blast

Her tear carved a river
A heartbreak amends
He'll never see him again
