Spain
Soft shades of gold
Brown-yellow hue
Cereals soak up the sun
That bakes the ground through which it grew
I am travelling through a countryside
It is so much vaster in my mind
Than the grey-green land where I reside
Brown terra firma
Red terracotta
White-washed walls and not a soul in sight
Throughout the heat of the afternoon
It’s just me and you
Lay me down beneath lofty poplars
Where the shaded grass is cool
There was a girl with long brown hair
And eyes so wide in the Spanish light
There we shared all our secrets
And promised to keep them true
Come what may, I’ll remember this day with you
Brown terra firma
Red terracotta
White-washed walls and not a soul in sight
Throughout the heat of the afternoon
It’s just me and you
Brown terra firma
Red terracotta
White-washed walls and not a soul in sight
Throughout the heat of the afternoon
It’s just me and you

Nothing made me smile today
My sense of taste was all astray
I looked in the mirror
At a face pale and gray
I took my only comfort
In a song so sad and long
Because nothing really feels right when you're gone.
I got a call from a friend of mine
With plans to hit the town
But I stayed home all on my own
Underneath my own black cloud
This big house seems so much colder now
And it's like I don't belong
Because nothing really feels right when you're gone.
Sure, I've been busy
Oh yeah, I've got plenty on
I work until the light has died
I work like nothing's wrong
I keep myself occupied
Hell, I even wrote this song
But nothing really feels right when you're gone.
It's snowing out the window
It’s raining in my heart
A thousand miles of land and sea
Are keeping us apart
I know you'll be back here
With me before too long
But nothing really feels right when you're gone.
