St. Augustine Lyrics - Singles - Patty Larkin

Well you tell me you love me and I'm alright 

Simple as that like the tail of a kite 

And the old legionnaires well they're spoiling for a fight 

On the streets of St. Augustine 

Well the sun was in a bad mood in the cold winter sky 

It was having a laugh on the look of surprise 

Me I'm walking the cobblestone like a poet or a spy 

On the streets of St. Augustine 

California shimmers and I'll chase you someday 

To the Fountain of Youth by the edge of the bay 

But for now I just want to carry you away 

To the streets of St. Augustine 

Well they burned down the town in the name of a king 

Divided it up for diamonds and rings 

Now they're telling the singers there's no place to sing 

On the streets of St. Augustine 

And Fred well he's down from Nova Scotia again 

He's sailing the seas on the palm of the wind 

And he's going off to Cuba to that Canadian 

From the streets of St. Augustine 

And you can run from the pocket of a comfortable hand 

Put your soul in a suitcase and travel the land 

And count yourself lucky if you finally stand 

On the streets of St. Augustine 

Well you tell me you love me and I'm alright 

Simple as that like the tail of a kite 

I close my eyes and we're walking tonight 

On the streets of St. Augustine
