Cadiz Lyrics - The Fall And Rise Of Hugh Cornwell - Hugh Cornwell

She was a woman with a magnetic smile pointed at me like a compass at night 

I can't imagine what the world would be like without her sunset to brighten up the sky 

Walked down her streets and the cool shadows in which I lingered before bursting into light 

Opened her door I was beckoned inside into a fairy tale I climbed up to her heights 

Hola Cadiz Falla she is 

Hola Cadiz Falla she is 

I walk down her steps and the centuries echo my footfalls bouncing round the crypt 

I hear the waves like the beat of her heart down by the shoreline past and present slips 

Away Cadiz Falla she is 

Hola Cadiz Falla she is 

Show me a reason give me a sign 

We could be leaving all this behind 

So if a songbird flies from the north down to the island he'll be holding her hand 

And he'll be looking for the house that is still down by the shoreline and she'll understand 

Hola Cadiz Falla she is 

Hola Cadiz Falla she is 

Show me a reason give me a sign 

We could be leaving all this behind
