lyrics

Spain.  

Now I see the lips that I’ve read 
And they’re the voices of the dead 
So don’t try to change my head 
Cos’ I won’t hear a word that you’ve said

Cos’ they don’t realise, that it’s in their eyes 
And if I’m not the same 
You can tell them I went to Spain
(I went to Spain)  

Now I know things have taken quite a change
 But why should I be to blame? 
Why should I have to explain 
The feelings I have when in Spain?

Cos’ when I found you near 
Then I have no fear 
And they don’t realise
 That the message is in our eyes
(While in Spain) 

But the Spain that’s in my heart
And the message in my eyes
 It’s crystal clear
 I can’t stay here
 It won’t last forever
No, you can’t change me now
No, you can’t change me now

And did you think that in the end 
I would dispel my friend? 
To a life that will not change 
Well, I won’t spend it here in Spain.
