Andorra Lyrics

The nearer we got to Andorra
The sun set on the left
The rounded mountains pointed
To the black clouds in the west

Hey, there's a darkness
In the sky that's not the night
Hey, there's a rain cloud there
That's shutting out the light

What do I tell you, it's always the same
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain

As soon as we reached Barcelona
The cold wind touched the beach
The sun we left in London
Is away beyond our reach

Hey, I said darling
It seems a waste of time
Hey, all I do is sit
And drink our Spanish wine

What do I tell you, it's always the same
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain

Of all the tales of Granada
They tell of Islam's run
They lived beneath the Moorish lord
Beneath a Moorish sun

Oh, how we yearned to turn
Our faces to that glare
When down from the mountains
Came the rain to soak our hair

What do I tell you, it's always the same
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain

What do I tell you, it's always the same
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain

In the 60's, Colin Blunstone was the lead singer of the Zombies, a British band that developed a distinctive, jazzy sound, in which his soft, laid-back, almost hesitant voice was offset against the equally soft, but flexible and pointy instruments of organ, drum, and bass.

The Zombies disbanded. In the early 70's, Blunstone re-emerged as a solo act, and scored several major hits. The music featured rhythm guitar now and ranged from string arranged melodies, to rock, to American folk. The Zombies were never far away; for instance, "Andorra", written by co-Zombies Rod Argent and White, is a remake of "Time of the Season".

"One Year" was his first solo album.

In the late 70's Colin lent his voice to The Alan Parsons Project, a logical progression from his solo work, as can be heard in a song such as "Old and Wise".

Colin is currently touring and recording again with Rod Argent, another founder member of the Zombies, performing both new material and hits from their joint and solo careers. Read more on Last.fm.
