Lyric discussion by hillaryp 

I have a live recording of a concert neil did in 72 in London. Before this song he says, "this is a song I wrote about the beaches in spain. I've never been to the beaches in spain, its just sort my own idea of what its like over there."

also I have a question:

what does purple words on a gray background refer to?

@hillaryp none of it really seems to refer to a beach though, other than the first line that mentions sand.

Cowgirls, ruby etc. don't sound very Spanish to me either.

An error occured.
