Linda Paloma Lyrics
At the moment the music began
And you heard the guitar player starting to sing
You were filled with the beauty that ran
Through what you were imagining
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love
I was the endless sky
And you were my Mexican dove
Now the music that played in your ears
Grows a little bit fainter each day
And you find yourself looking through tears
At the love you feel slipping away
Though it's not the kind
Of love you might hope to find
If tears could release the heart
From the shadows preferred by the mind
Like a wind that comes up in the night
Caressing your face while you sleep
Love will fill your eyes with the sight
Of a world you can't hope to keep
Dreaming on after that moment's gone
The light in your lover's eyes
Disappears with the light of the dawn
But the morning brings
Strength to your restless wings
And some other lover sings
To the sun's bright corona
I know all about these things

Fly away

Amzing song about love that usually fades away. So beautifully written and sung. Love the part of the tears with shadows of the mind. Great song writer.
I was told it referred to the time his wife, who committed suicide, spent on a ventilator.

I believe that this is a song about a one night stand with a mexican girl, possibly a prostitute, but has beeen romanticized because Mexican girls are love.
This song is about JB's longing for Linda Ronstadt. Like some of the Eagles, JB either had a relationship with LR, or wanted to. That girl got around in the 1970's.
