Common Market Madrigal

(album: Jefferson Airplane - 1989)

In your arms, in your eyes
I can see the Paris lights
And the warm Italian nights
Seems like summertime just flies

Through so many skies we've flown
So many lands we've come to know
And we watch our love just grow
Till the winter brings us home

No time gives us reasons for why it just goes by
And no man can stop the seasons
But so many men will try

We will travel thes ancient lands
And our minds will learn to fly
We will hear all the music of man
Learn to love before we die

In these lands ruled by kings
The enchanted princess sings
And all the fairy tales she knew
The seet lies we thought were true

But the castles on the Rhein
Never seem to mind the time
That will take them slowly back
Into history's memorized lines

Wooden shoes and tulips in Holland
English guards with medieval swords
Conquistadors and Spanish galleons
Vikings sailing the mountain fjords

We will travel these ancient lands
And our minds will learn to fly
We will hear all the music of man
Learn to love before we die

In your arms, in your eyes
I can see the Paris lights
And the warm Italian nights
Semms like summertime just flies
