she returns to her dream city
where she blossomed
and we trail behind her
her family
it's all talk of remember
and where are they now

our little one given license to stay up all night
why do they eat so late dad?
what are they saying?

tapas at midnight
beer all the time
water's essential
and so is the wine

there's talk of old lovers
there's talk of change
talk of the the politics
and the city rearranged

it's hot ****** hot
almost too hot to bear
the fountains run all day
there's solace in there

but up on the roof
lies the breeze
with it's welcoming arms
I play guitar for the stars
open tuning in G

I gather them here
all that matters to me
my beautiful children
my beautiful wife
I sing to the stars
in thanks for this life
