Song for Elias

[Felix Riebl & Julie O'Hara] Meant to meet you but I couldn't stay Till now never knew how life tears you away Now I wait for the springtime in Spain My love A beautiful being so sad and so strong You gave me a story you gave me a song When he played his guitar she would weep My love So one rainy day that spirit took flight She made him a cap full of magic and might For his birthday to rule a great stage (and perform till old age) My love And why did you never arrive When we - before you left I saw tears in your eye And your mother just told me you My love Estaba en otro sitio To state he was born by got rhythm within Was to put it so mildly her crying face grinned It would spring from all fibres of humanly everythings My love Nothing's sure but that love never reasons Now the world might have lost all its springtimes And all of the seasons are bleak without you My love Estaba en otro sitio Meant to meet you but I couldn't stay Till now never knew how life tears you away Now I wait for the springtime in Spain My love Estaba en otro sitio
