lyrics

PICHILEMU TOWN

Early morning, miles of green,
Rivers winding down from lazy streams, into the sea Reaching up to cloudless skies,
Snowy peaks on the eastern rise look down
On peaceful ground, silent as the sun.
Gotta see if I can make it to the coast tonight, Thereʼs a little tiny town that I want to find.
And here she is, her sandy shores
Watching over waves for evermore,
Still standing proud, despite the day
The earthquake came
Pichilemu town.

Little shops and houses there,
Painted every colour you can dream, itʼs not a dream. People sitting, walking, talking,
On the streets most every waking hour
In Pichilemu town, they wonder how.
Thereʼs a mother with her child on the beach tonight Are they looking for the ghost of another tide?
Here she is, her sandy shores
Watching over waves for evermore,
Still standing proud, despite the day
The walls got washed away
Pichilemu town.

Centuries they come and go
Memories like melted snow, theyʼre gone Down to the sea.
But everywhere youʼll see the scars,
Take a look, theyʼre not so hard to find
In Pichilemu town, right here and now.
As I wander up and down in the setting sun I wonder will we ever really understand? And here she is, her sandy shores Watching over waves for evermore,
Still standing proud, despite the day
The earthquake came to stay
Pichilemu town.
