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

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

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
