"El Salvador" from the album "Guts for Love" (1982)
EL SALVADOR is another of the special "Spanish Songs" that I feel compelled to write. I love the classical guitar, and that flavor that reminds me of my grandmother Raffaela. She was an incredible person, a feminist way before her time.

P.S. I'm working on a new album and will begin a world tour in 2009 that will take me through the USA, Canada, all over Europe, Australia and parts of Asia. If you sign up as a Fan on my Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Garland-Jeffreys/10650433053 you will be the first to receive information about my new recordings, shows and special events as well as "fan-only" tracks and album and ticket discounts.
Lay me down
Fast asleep at night
Take me 'round
Hold me tight
Most of all
Please protect my child
Watch on her until the morning light
Danger lurks from behind the bush
Nerves will fray
Blood will rush
Victims of another terror style
Homeless angels on the run
El Salvador, El Salvador
El Salvador, El Salvador
Walking proud
On my wedding day
Memories I recall
Bride and groom go marching
Down the aisle
Celebrate with trumpet calls
Heartless crimes
Lately fill my dreams
Headlines scream 'cross the world
Lifelines end but fill an endless file
Widows writhe under the sun
El Salvador, El Salvador
El Salvador, El Salvador
