Run Preciosa (AlbumVersion) - Joe Ely

I saw her in the barrio

In the town where the brothers fought

Across the river from the Moorish Mosque

The Spanish Christians bow

Her hair was dressed by Vesper

Woven in the leather wind

She grew up in the country

You could see it in her innocent grin

Run Preciosa run for love

The olive trees need rain

Memories of your gypsy past

Ride on the midnight train

Your lover's heart was way too wild

You saw it in his face

You walked the graveyard with his child

In a veil of Spanish lace

Son of Tony Camborio

In a souped up red Renault

Up the rusted is the red wrought iron

Around his father's burial vault

Civil guards raise their sleepy heads

She spins to watch the car change lanes

Though so much time has passed

Not that much has changed

Run Preciosa run for love

The olive trees need rain

Memories of your gypsy past

Ride on the midnight train

Your lover's heart was way too wild

You saw it in his face

You walked the graveyard with his child

In a veil of Spanish lace

The hours paint the whitewashed walls

In shadows of lavender gray

Preciosa counts the ring of bells

The church where the white doves lay

Flashing lights of the civil guard

'Round a red Renault they flash

Not that much has really changed

Though so much time has passed

Run Preciosa run for love

The olive trees need rain

Memories of your gypsy past

Ride on the midnight train

Your lover's heart was way too wild

You saw it in his face

You walked the graveyard with his child

In a veil of Spanish lace

Run Preciosa run for love

The olive trees need rain

Memories of your gypsy past

Ride on the midnight train

Your lover's heart was way too wild

You saw it in his face

You walked the graveyard with his child

In a veil of Spanish lace
