tell me a story
who, what, where, when, how and why
I'll always listen

I take this ring, a
sign of my folly — so I
can pretend I'm yours

look into my eyes
and you'll see how silently
I'm screaming right now

sun-kissed valley wind
train to Madrid's not here yet
— want a cerveza

sit in the shadow
look at those pale, lovely hills
— let's have anisette

isn't it lovely
the moon is afire — can I
hold your hand, and stay

though the night is deep
and the moon is alight — please
hold my hand, and stay

why does thunderclap
over a sunlit sky — feel
like an oath you'd break

but then the rain came
where each drop planted a kiss
on my skin — sweet, soft
and tender — exactly where
you promised each one will be

now each thunderclap
over a sunlit sky — is
hope I believe in

I am losing sleep
over the matter of why
I am losing sleep
