Lyrics The Last Conquistador - Gruff Rhys

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,
Burst at the seams,
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me,
Blueberries and dreams,
Hollowed and squeezed,
A combination of disease and confusion.
My whole life's work, was just an illusion.
