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
And the streets just ain't all this time
Well the sun was in a bad mood in the cold winter sky
He was having a laugh on the look of surprise
Me I'm walking the cobblestone like a poet
or a spy
And the streets just ain't all this time
California shimmers,
I'll change this someday To the
fountain of youth by the edge of the bay
But for now I just want to carry 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 Fredwell he's down from Nova Scotia again
He's sailing the seas in a palm of the wind
And he's gone off to Cuba, 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
Wait to tell them you love me and I'm alright
Simple as that, like the tail of a kite
I close my eyes and walk in the night On the streets of St. Augustine
yeah
