Donovan - Sand And Foam Lyrics
The sun was going down behind a tattooed treeAnd the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the seaAnd all because of the phosphorus there in quantityAs I dug you diggin' me in Mexico.There in the valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jadeSmoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had madeWe sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wineIn that crystal thought time in Mexico.Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine,Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine.Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet,I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico.Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night,Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight,Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp,Valentino vamp in Mexico.The sun was going down behind a tattooed treeAnd the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the seaAnd all because of the phosphorus there in quantityI dug you diggin' me in Mexico
