orphan from madrid (guernica) - jack hardy lyrics

[verse 1]
i am an orphan from madrid
i pass my nights in search of homes
and though the people try to keep me hid
and preach against me, i am never alone
i am the black sheep huddled in a sad café
arguing with aphrodite to forsake her name
late at night we listen to the radio
for a song that i used to sing so long ago
and i tell to her all of my foreign dreams
and who will find for me a home?

[verse 2]
when i was young i moved to rome
with a dog who tagged along, i knew his dreams
to the ancient city built on bones
and all those temples built to gods obscene
i am the black*shirted knight who plays the game
though the left*winged newspapers slander my name
they’ll learn the pen is not always stronger than the sword
and that thoughts are not always put down with words
i search the streets for the order that chaos brings
and who will find for me a home?

[verse 3]
and so i moved north to cologne
and bonn and munich where i could spend the spring
in many places my light has shown
that golden box to which i now hold the strings
in the blackened night those stars will appear
those dim*lit cellars cry out, calling with their beer
i spend my afternoons walking at the zoo
all those birds of carnage caged and crying turn me loose
a crowd of people can never think alone
and who will find for me a home?
[outro]
i am an orphan from madrid
and who will find for me a home?
