Caves Of Altamira - Walter Becker/Donald Fagen
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
Far among the hills that run
To 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
It was before the fall when I 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
Many years have come and gone
And many miles between
Through it all a family
By the light of what I seen
On the road as I return
Was a green and yellow sign
Sayin' see the way it used to be
And it took my place in lie
Could I believe 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
It was before the fall
When I 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
