Valencia Lyrics - The Decemberists

Review The Song (2)

You belong to the gang
and you say you can't break away
but I'm here with my hands on my heart

And our families can't agree
I'm your brothers sworn enemy
but I'll shout out my love to the stars

So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

When first we laid eyes I swore to no compromise
'til I felt my caress on your skin
Well how soon we were betrayed,
your sister gave us away
and your father came all unhinged

So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

But Oh Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia, and I swear to the the stars
I'll burn this whole city down

All I heard was a shout
of your brother calling me out
and you ran like a fool to my side

and the shot it hit hard
and your frame went limp in my arms
and an oath of love was your dying cry

So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

But Oh Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia, and I'll burn this whole city down
Valencia, with your blood gettin' cold on the ground
Valencia and I swear to the stars
I'll burn this whole city down
