Diego Martin

My first memory, Diego Martin
Was the sight of you
Sunlight streaming over your mountains
As dawn crept slowly, surely down your hills
Everything stood still
Save a restless child climbing in the window sill

Diego Martin, oh, I remember
The smell of sweet bread floating down from the corner

Diego Martin, I remember
How the years slipped by and you grew smaller and smaller

My worst memory, Diego Martin
Was the fading sight of you on that Monday morning
As you slipped slowly, surely from my view
To remain from then on a distant point beyond the horizon

Diego Martin, oh, I remember
How the sea, the years, the land grew wide between us

Diego Martin, I remember
Her memory like a bridge leaped across the distance

Diego Martin, I remember
The smell of sweet bread floating down from the corner

Diego Martin, I remember
How the years slipped by and you grew smaller and smaller

Diego Martin, I remember
How the years slipped by and you grew smaller and smaller
