Testo: Howie Lucero. S.A.R.A.H.. Val Banera.

(words and music by Howie Lucero © 1985)

Living on Grinnell Street, Eddie and Julie.
When Eddie would figure things out, he knew Julie would be there throughout anything.
A story was told to me . . . storm at sea,
that Eddie would nearly drown. He knew something was down there and what it would bring.
They were the sons and daughters of rewarded sorrow.
A ship in a hostile sea foundered on a shoal
not far from where Rebecca light is found; in fact Eddie could see her without anything.
Bullion and golden rings were seen through a porthole,
but no way to get at these things. (No way to get at these things)
Here were the sons and daughters of rewarded sorrow,
of Val Banera, and the last of tomorrow.
(No way to get at these things) No way to get at these things.
One fair warning, now the story lives there,
within the sons and daughters of rewarded sorrow,
of Val Banera . . . the last tomorrow.
Val Banera, you scream in my life, yet, I won't let this take you away.
Val Banera, you scream in my life, but I won't let this take you away.

(inst.)
A ship in a hostile sea . . . Eddie and Julie . . .
no way to get at these things . . . (No way to get at these things)
of Val Banera, and the last of tomorrow
