lyrics

Asturiana, teach me how to whistle
We don’t make that sound on my side of the town
We say fillin’ up a heart one time is plenty
And any more is sure to let you down

Asturiana, show me how to move now
I could swing my legs if you would hold my hands
My train, it don’t roll out until tomorrow
So let me hold you closely while I can

Oh, dip me like a candle in the darkness
Swing me like a stone across the sea
Kiss me like you know just what you’re after
Even if you’re just as lost as me

Asturiana, drive me toward Salinas
Pour me out some cider in my glass
Tell me all those secrets that you spill out when you’re tired
Oh every drop tastes sweeter than the last

Walk me up the hillside of your memory
Drown me in the wellspring of your mind
Drop me off A-8 into the Picos
The Western world could never hold my kind.

Asturiana, every time that smoke clears
I see you standin’ tall with matches in your hand
Now I know I can’t be the only one you’re foolin’
But I’ll let you get away with what you can.

Asturiana, meet me in that half-light
Oh, the crescent moon has asked for you by name
I could never let her down when she’s so fragile
But you and I, we never were the same
Darling, you and I, we never were the same

Rock me from the coast to Oviedo
Move me like the waters of the Rhine
Drop me off A-8 into the Picos
The Western world could never hold my kind.

I once google-searched the definition of "pine" and the example provided was this: "Some people pine for the return of the monarchy". I'd feel the same way, perhaps, had I been born in a different place, but I'm left to pine for other things like basque wine, moonlight and cowboys. ... more
