Steely Dan - The Caves Of Altamira

Steely Dan

The Caves Of Altamira

I recall when I was small
How I spent my days alone
The busy world was not for me
So I went and found my own
I would climb the garden wall
With a candle in my hand
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand

On the stone an ancient hand
In a faded yellow-green
Made alive a worldly wonder
Often told but never seen
Now and ever bound to labor
On the sea and in the sky
Every man and beast appeared
A friend as real as I

CHORUS:
Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall
When there wasn't even any Hollywood
They heard the call
And they wrote it on the wall
For you and me we understood

Can it be this sad design
Could be the very same
A wooly man without a face
And a beast without a name
Nothin' here but history
Can you see what has been done
Memory rush over me
Now I step into the sun

CHORUS

Mirror lyrics:

CHORUS

Now I step into the sun
Memory rush over me
Can you see what has been done
Nothin' here but history
And a beast without a name
A wooly man without a face
Could be the very same
Can it be this sad design

For you and me we understood
And they wrote it on the wall
They heard the call
When there wasn't even any Hollywood
Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall
CHORUS:

A friend as real as I
Every man and beast appeared
On the sea and in the sky
Now and ever bound to labor
Often told but never seen
Made alive a worldly wonder
In a faded yellow-green
On the stone an ancient hand

I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
With a candle in my hand
I would climb the garden wall
So I went and found my own
The busy world was not for me
How I spent my days alone
I recall when I was small
