Letra de Prince of Tides - Jimmy Buffett

The sun, red and enormous, began to sink into the western sky

And simultaneously the moon began to rise

On the other side of the river with its own glorious shade of red

Coming up out of the trees like a russet firebird

The sun and the moon seemed to acknowledge each other

And they moved in both apposition and concordance

In a breathtaking dance of light across the oaks and the palms

My father watched it, and I thought he would cry again

He had returned to the sea, and his heart was a low country heart

African drums are silent

And the Wingos are poets at last

Out on Dafuskie Island

The bulldozers bury the past

And the low country sinks, she cannot swim

The dogwood feels the hurt

While the foursome plays on borrowed days

In their alligator shirts

Now I realize who killed the Prince of Tides

How can you tell how it used to be

When there's nothin' left to see?

One night they put a price on the sunset

And that got the whole world shakin'

They rose from the grave, both the weak and the brave

'Cause history was there for the makin'

And the winos surrounded the condos

Forming a frail human fence

And they shouted out loud to the roar of the crowd

"Same old story, more dollars than sense"

Now I realize who killed the Prince of Tides

How can you tell how it used to be

When there's nothin' left to see?

Paperback novels make young girls dream

And Judy's spending quieter days in the stream

With Goodman, Giovinco, and John Mac D

They were such good friends to me

Yes, and now I realize who killed the Prince of Tides

How can you tell how it used to be

When there's nothin' left to see?

Oh, and now I realize who killed the Prince of Tides

How can you tell how it used to be

When there's nothin' left to see?

Nothin' left to see

Heaven knows but God decides

Just when to kill the Prince of Tides

You can dance every dance

With the guy who gives you the eye

And wants to hold you tight

You can smile every smile

For the man who holds your hand

Beneath the pale moonlight

But don't forget who's takin' you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

Save the last dance for me

And beach music, beach music, beach music, just plays on

The white porpoise comes to me at night

Singing in the river of time

With a thousand dolphins in radiant attendance

Bringing charismatic greetings from the Prince of Tides
