Emilio Lyrics - Paradise - Judy Collins

Emilio lives in an attic 

Plays a flamenco guitar 

Our prayers fall down his window 

And roll down fenders of rusted out cars 

They harmonize with the sirens 

And mix with that racket downstairs 

They wander out into the traffic 

Emilio's misguided prayers 

The moon is Emilio's mistress 

On her there's noturning his back 

Some nights she comes to him naked and cold 

And some nights she only wears black

When the full moon flows from his bottle 

Somehow there's always a fight 

When the moon and the lunatic dance, "senorina" 

The beautiful music spins into the night and they dance 

In his dreams he can see the "abuelas" 

They offer him wafers and wine 

Suspicious Emilio measures 

The "vino" against the divine 

But he never has come to believe them 

Or accepted their Heavenly host 

So vigous and savage darling 

The Saint and the sinner he prays to the most
