RONNIE HAWKINS AND THE HAWKS
"Roja (Eyes Similar Blue)"

In the 'Hippopotamus'
Words are flowers clutched against your breast
Desperate poetess,
Oh you'd better get them off your chest

If it's true, then it's sad
Words won't take the place of what you had
And it's sad if it's true
A photograph of eyes similar blue

A peso for your thoughts
Chilly like the breeze in Lezama
Distracted coffee talk
Mourning for that little girl lost

Well it's hard and it's cruel
Imagenes amargos y azul
And it's cruel and it's sad
Palabras son dudas sin verdad

She's a call away but that's all the way
So you scrawl away like you do

If it's true, then it's sad
Palabras son dudas sin verdad
And it's hard and it's cruel
Imagenes amargos y azul
And it's sad if it's true
A photograph of eyes similar blue
