Guayaguayare

[Verse 1]
I dreamt a long and lonely bay
First to catch the light of day
As dawn comes rushing over waves
In Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare

First site of those who, passing through
Declared the world they found was new
You almost might believe it to
In Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare
Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare

Three sails went by, not long ago
Years of fire to unfold
The embers are still growing cold
In Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare
Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare

Black as oil, yellow as gold
The sands spell dangers to the soul
Thy are grey as death if truth be told
In Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare
Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare

Row on row of green crowned trees
Lean out over tossing seas
As if pulled back by memories
In Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare
Guayaguayare, Guayaguayare

And when the dawn begins to break
Its light refracted by the spray
Sends colours rolling over waves
Across the silent bay
Across the silent bay
Across the silence broken by
The coming of the day
(Coming of the day)

[Instrumental Break]

I dreamt a far forgotten bay
Whose long and winding name remains
To tell us of a vanished age
Guayaguayare
