Always The Cause

Al Stewart - Always the Cause



Bad news over the great divide

Comes in from every side

Still hope won't be denied

There was always the Cause

There was always the Cause



Oh La Pasionara sang

This day, no pasaran!

It echoed out in Catalan

There was always the Cause

There was always the Cause



Mariposa

Late nights waiting on the via dolorosa

Hold me closer

Not long now, oh ma bella hermosa

There was always the Cause



Setbacks come at every turn

New ways are hard to learn

Tonight I saw Guernica burn

There was always the Cause

There was always the Cause



Mariposa

Late nights waiting on the via dolorosa

Hold me closer

Not long now, oh ma bella hermosa

There was always the Cause



Three years gone in the heart of Spain

He brings home a quiet pain

He'll never be that young again

There was always the Cause

There was always the Cause
