lyrics

Farewells

Ecuador and Peru you treat me so damn kind
But for now I must be leaving you behind
And I have very much enjoyed my stay
And I do know that I will come back to you someday
But for now I must be returning
And it was a pleasure for you to have me sing
And whether I’m lost in the Sacred Valley or in the Colca puking
When I go home it’s all of you that I will be missing
And I know somewhere there is a heart
And somewhere there is a soul
And when ours cross paths again
Oh you’ll be the first to know
But for no I must begin to return to my old friends
Only to have new old ones when I return here again

And I know somewhere there is a heart
And somewhere there is a soul
And when ours cross paths again
Oh you’ll be the first to know
But for no I must begin to return to my old friends
Only to have new old ones when I return here again

And everyone that I met
Oh well it was nice to meet you
And once I do return
Oh I will have more words to speak to you
And in the meantime I will miss your ways
Oh I will miss your face
Oh I will count down the days
And one day I will find my footprints to retrace

I will find my footprints to retrace…
