Barcelona Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Barcelona
I still long to hold her once more, oh
My boots of leather
From Europe
I gather you know, know
[Chorus]
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
[Verse 2]
A native man sang in a foreign tongue
I still ache to know the song that he sung
Barcelona
[Chorus]
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Barcelona
I still long to hold her once more, oh
My boots of leather
From Europe
I gather you know, know
[Chorus]
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
[Verse 2]
A native man sang in a foreign tongue
I still ache to know the song that he sung
Barcelona
[Chorus]
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
[Interlude]
Barcelona
Barcelona
[Chorus]
Every time you have to go
Shut my mind and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
[Chorus]
Every time you have to go
Shut my mind and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
About
Genius Annotation
The album Wanted on Voyage was inspired by a trip around Europe that Ezra took in 2013.
The song talks of lost love, taking inspiration from Bob Dylan’s “Boots of Spanish Leather.”
George has a personal connection to Barcelona. After the release of his first album he disappeared from the public eye, finding himself in the Spanish city.
I went to Barcelona for a month and instead of finding a nice apartment, I found a lady willing to rent her spare room. I was influenced by the way of life there. It’s taught me to relax a lot more."
“Barcelona” was released as the 6th single from the album.
