Judy Collins - Emilio [Intro] [Verse 1] Emilio lives in an attic Plays a flamenco guitar Arpeggios fall out his window And roll down the fenders of rusted out cars [Verse 2] They harmonize with the sirens And mix with that racket downstairs They wander out into the traffic Emilio’s misguided prayers [Verse 3] The moon is Emilio’s mistress On her there’s no turning his back Some nights she comes to him naked and cold And some nights she only wears black [Verse 4] When the Fundador flows from his bottle Somehow there’s always a fight When the moon and the lunatic dance seguirías Their beautiful music spills into the night and they dance [Instrumental]] [Verse 5] In his dreams he can see the abuelas They offer him wafers and wine Suspicious Emilio measures The vino against the divine [Verse 6] But he never has come to believe them Or accepted their heavenly host Sabicas and Salvador Dalí The saint and the sinner he prays to the most [Verse 7] Emilio lives in an attic Plays a flamenco guitar Arpeggios fall out his window And roll down the fenders of rusted out cars [Outro]
