letra de madrid city mona lisa - niall james holohan

thank you, babe
for being born on a rough hewn morning in spain
’cause i don’t know
who i’d be or where he’d go if i hadn’t met you
on the quays, in the rain

now the air around here is a laudatory splendour
and somehow sweeter, since you showed up out of fear
you never saw my riding a bike
you saw me as the puppeteer, inventing the heart for myself
and drinking both laughter and tears

pedro’s car
a beer and a laugh but somehow, now, i can’t reach you
but i can see you turning up the heat
half words whispered low with your chin on my chest in bed
while drunkards fight out their demons in the street

you’re not a treacherous promise breaker
you’re a beautiful bright young woman and i love you so
stole my heart
lost my soul when you told me you were leaving
adios, mi corazon

when you go, when you go
you leave me lonely
and forever my friends feel astute
so if you stay for a while
we’ll dance one more time
alone, on wooden floors
where we made nine hundred and ninety manner of flutes

the poor man paints himself abroad
because he hasn’t got the mean to go get lost in your eyes
from where he kneels, in the pale
you’re the one thing that’s not a figment of his bad imagination
and when you sigh or smile or wink
he throws his hands in the air
because beauty you can’t capture
rapture you can’t chain
you can get these things into a larger window to see them
but love you cannot tame
and all of this makes him, as i, wonder and need to know
when i’ll see you again
when i’ll see you again

stay, stay, little lisa
stay, stay, mona lisa
stay, stay
stay, stay
mona lisa

when you stood on the fire
in roman attire
and told me you could be a good girl, sometimes, yeah
i chose lead over gold
and i’m so glad that i know you
you’re one of few people that make me laugh and smile
and with everything i’ve seen, that’s important to me
i swear
i swear

oh man
bing bong
way ho
shang-a-lang
yeah

you’re a fine thing sitting in the dublin sun
with your hair all wet and your fears all gone
and that’s how i’ll remember your soul
getting off on the fact that you are just that
alive, skinning up in the park for inspiration, for a start
and it’s only the beginning, i know

you’re a fine thing rolled in your only sleep
when you close your eyes and you dream down deep
and wild and keen glean life right out of the night
you’re not a treacherous promise breaker
you’re a beautiful bright young woman
and i love you
alright

but when you go, when you go
when your lady, your soul says you have to
she’ll teach you the ways of the world
but if you stay i promise you
i’m not about to stand still, either way
and with you, i could run up a calvinist hill

stay, stay, little lisa
stay, stay, mona lisa
stay, stay
stay, stay
mona lisa

now that you know
all that i’ve told you
and now that i’ve seen above the flag
that’s tied to the motherland, to the stars
i know big shots are little shots who just keep shooting
and if you allow me to suit myself one more time
i’ll make it up to you
i’ll put myself in your hands
when i see you again
i’ll put myself in your hands
’cause you’re a lover and i like it

i don’t know when i’m going to see you again
and it makes me sad on my knees in our park
when you go, when you go
you leave me lonely
but i can’t pity myself around here
so i bury myself in my work
and i clearly love it!

stay, stay, little lisa
stay, stay, mona lisa
stay, stay
stay, stay
mona lisa

i hope that thing i like about you doesn’t change

stay, stay, little lisa
no, go
no, grow
stay, stay, mona lisa
i know, i know it’s time
stay, stay
stay, stay
mona lisa
