House Of Valparaiso Lyrics - Carried To Dust - Calexico

House Of Valparaiso 

Dialing in a forgotten voice 

Coming in like waves rolling off the coast 

Sweeping through illegal ports 

Rising from the depths falling off the tongue 

Ships drifting out of tune 

Coming in like waves rolling off the coast 

Many, many more, sculpting the shoreline 

Etching the harbor and the people 

Who've stayed afloat

Coming in like waves rolling off the coast 

Dialing in a forgotten voice 

Rising from the depths falling off the tongue 

Sweeping through illegal ports 

Coming in like waves rolling off the coast 

Ships drifting out of tune 

Can't stop the waves coming like a ghost 

Is that your shape 

In the foam of the sea 

After all these years 

Coming home to me 

La Chascona 

Hearts to ocean 

Vows unbroken 

Lying in the bath fully clothed 

Ready for the ocean's wake 

The tears won't wash away 

What her eyes can't erase 

Photos 

Not safe to say in her native tongue 

A radio voice drowning out 

The general's song lingering on 

A raft made of books from a driftwood house 

Returns to the waves
