Barcelona

42 hours riding on buses and trains Two of them were for sleeping The other 40 for going insane I was trying hard, trying to make my way To meet some friends of mine On the sunny side of Spain Oh, but my plans were falling apart And my wallet wasn't getting me far And I was sleeping on the ground Just south of London town Wondering, "what would my mother say If she could see me now?" Oh, Barcelona How could I not have grown up I made so many mistakes But I still found you and you found me too Oh, Barcelona You were my Sharona A love waiting to be gotten But for some reason playing hard-to-get Oh, Barcelona I have heard it said "If you seek, then you will find" But what they never tell you is Sometimes it takes some time Oh, and I missed my aeroplane And the trains kept running away And I was lost and couldn't get found In some dirty old Spanish town Wondering, "what would my mother say If she could see me now?" Oh, Barcelona How could I not have grown up I made so many mistakes But I still found you and you found me too Oh, Barcelona You were my Sharona A love waiting to be gotten But for some reason playing hard-to-get Oh, Barcelona Oh, Barcelona How could I have known that Everything would go the way it's gone? And I feel like I haven't slept in a year And Pat is dancing like a girl And Michael's rolling on the floor And I don't know what's going on around here And yet I've never been so in love with a place before And I've never had so much fun getting lost As in Barcelona How could I not have grown up? I made so many mistakes But I still found you and you found me too Oh, Barcelona You were my Sharona A love waiting to be gotten But for some reason playing hard-to-get Oh, Barcelona Oh, I was looking for love in Barcelona I was looking for life in Barcelona I was looking for a bed in Barcelona I was looking for my friends in Barcelona I was looking for the Spirit in Barcelona I was looking for adventure in Barcelona I was looking for the ocean in Barcelona I was looking for the right train in Barcelona I was looking for cathedrals in Barcelona I was looking for myself in Barcelona
