Carrie Newcomer - La paloma

^N.C.Sit down ^Chere in the alley where no ^Gone can see you cry Trouble ^Amdogs us like a shadow though I ^Fcannot tell you why Life's a ^Cfine and fleeting moment, bitter^Gsweet and hard as stone I can't ^Amchange what fate has dealt you, but no ^Fone should walk alone

Fly a^Cway la pa^Gloma, ta^Amke my love where you ^Fgo Where ^Cno one can ^Gharm you and there's ^Amnothing you need We're not as fa^Fr as we believe

Some^Cwhere a door is opening and a^Gnother door is closed The ^Amsunset wraps its shawl from ^Fhere to Mexico There's a ^Csound of wings around you like the ^Grustle of a skirt And it's ^Amgone before you know it, all those ^Ftender little birds

Fly a^Cway la pa^Gloma, ta^Amke my love where you ^Fgo Where ^Cno one can ^Gharm you and there's ^Amnothing you ^Cneed We're not as fa^Fr as we believe

I dreamt that I was walking in an ^Amold familiar country I ^Fthought I heard you singing, but I ^Amthink I was just hungry It's so ^Fmany years behind me and there's ^Amreally no escape No ^Fmatter where we go, we still ^Gtake our own landscape

The ^Cfull moon bows her head and she's ^Gputting on her veil A ^Amwhippoorwill is calling and the ^Fmorning dove exhales Smell the ^Cnight jasmine blooming, someone's ^Gturning down the sheets Forever ^Amopens up her arms, as the ^Frain washes the streets

Fly a^Cway la pa^Gloma, ta^Amke my love where you ^Fgo Where ^Cno one can ^Gharm you and there's ^Amnothing you need We're not as fa^Fr as we believe Fly a^Cway la pa^Gloma, my ^Ampaloma, fly a^Fway
