Pre-historic expression


Talking of pre-history, I love these cave paintings. Brings to mind a song ‘The Caves of Altamira’ by one of my favourite song writing partnerships, Donald Fagin and Walter Becker.

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

Chorus:
Before the fall when they 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
