Jefferson Airplane - Common Market Madrigal lyrics

rate me

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 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 these lands ruled by kings

The enchanted princess sings

And all the fairy tales she knew

The [unverified] 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

Seems like summertime just flies
