Barcelona Rain

words by Bob Cheevers music by Bob Pearce
from Slim Bawb's 2009 "Hillbilly Fellini"
Well I've been to Barcelona in the middle of the winter
Traveling with my lover to see the sights of Spain,
Though we made it to Madrid and the island of Maroka
I can still taste her kisses in the Barcelona rain
The nights go by so quickly in the hillside Spanish villa
Deep within in my heart her love forever shall remain
Those memories of her body lyin' there beside me
Pounding on the rooftop was the Barcelona rain
CHORUS
Ooh that rain, Barcelona rain, I still can taste her kisses
and the bottles of Champagne Ooh that rain, Barcelona rain
Sharin' on the beaches in the Barcelona rain
The lights of that big city sparkle like the diamonds
Wrapped around the crowns of gold kings of old had worn
The shadow of her candle, became an apparition
Beckoning the two of us to dance until the dawn
History often speaks about the Spanish inquisition
Matadors and Galleons full of gold doubloons
But her sweet lips of crimson, fueled my obsession for the perfect taste of passion, I found up in her room
REPEAT CHORUS
It sheltered us from the winds of change
It followed us all the way to Spain That spell we were under Became a world of wonder
Baptized in the water of the Barcelona rain
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
