San Amillos is the most wonderful Caribbean experience. You won't regret going there.
Folk, blues, a mixture of them, and more.
Garrett Clayton Reimer
Story behind the song
This was originally an instrumental. It had sortof a Santana sound. Then I decided to make up the name "San Amillos". About a year later, I wrote some lyrics to it, but they got trashed because they sucked. Then about 3 months after that, I rewrote the lyrics and the guitar and recorded it.
Lyrics
Do you remember when we
Lived in San Amillos. Well I do.
The sun shone through the rain.
We sang no songs no songs of pain. Oh no.
San Amillos, San Amillos, San Amillos.
We took a drive down palm tree lane
And saw all the kids play. All the kids play.
We couldn't tell if it was love or life
Or something better. Something better.
San Amillos, San Amillos, San Amillos
Sparkling sea water splashed my face.
And when I looked up, I found my place. Found my place.
How long, how long, how long, can I stay away from the city?
Not long enough.
San Amillos, San Amillos, San Amillos, San Amillos
Then the day took me away from there
and we cried all night. Thats where we met.
Some day I will return to
share the dreams I've found. Share the dreams I've found.
San Amillos, San Amillos, San Amillos.
1st verse.. Fade Out.
