Lyrics Gruff Rhys – The Last Conquistador

I am the last conquistador
I am well meaning and intentions are earnest
I am the first to document
My route is new an my spirit enlightened

I kept hold for your letters
But maybe it would be better if they burn

Blueberries and dreams
Burst at the seams
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me
Blueberries and dreams
Hollowed and squeezed
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me
Stepped into darkness only stars left to guide me

Still I’m the last conquistador
I keep on going
Though the going ain’t easy
And now my mind’s in farrago
All jumbled up, in the promise of empire

I’m still searching for Beulah
And one day I will hold her in my arms

Blueberries and dreams
Burst at the seams
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me
Blueberries and dreams
Hollowed and squeezed
I’m so delirious, I’m oblivious to previous
Hallucinations of a fool, that deceived us
A combination of disease and confusion
My whole life’s work, was just an illusion

Blueberries and dreams
