Lyrics
Barcelona
My sense of adventure was all that I packed
And anything else I could strap on my back
I plotted my course from where I would start
Obeying the waves I followed the stars
Li ing for life I sailed the whole world
I saw many a sight and as many a girl
As young and as ready, as sharp as I was
I would not be prepared for our paths to cross
Bridge
Her eyes caught my eye
Her tongue took my ear
With the slight of her hand my heart disappeared
Sentenced to life to pay for her crimes
and a prisoner held in the palm of my mind
Chorus
But I feel so much colder though the sun splits the sky
And I feel so much older for leaving her side
While she floats like a feather I'm Sinking like lead
Thinking of her all alone in our bed
How I wish I could hold her
But I'm in Barcelona
Verse 2
In a city still pretty on a October night
The promenade and harbour still fussing with life
And more beautiful women than ever there were
Though they only serve to remind me of her
In such perfect a place I still can't make the most
Knowing shes in the country and I'm tied to the coast
I guess goudi knew well the lesson now mine
Anything worth lasting was built over time
Bridge 2
Like a dream she arrived while my eyes where closed
My defences were down, my secrets exposed
All science and wisdom still cannot explain
Why the weeks pass me by faster than days
Chorus
