Jackson Browne - A Song For Barcelona lyrics

I think I must have lost my way a long long time ago Somewhere in the distance between love and business, I don't know Didn't have that far to go to find my pleasure though Lovers like islands in an archipelago Set in a sea of time Love is a place you find Where when two people rhyme, they begin to grow Learning the other ninety-nine words for snow This is a song for Barcelona, city of gravity and light City that gave me back my fire and restored my appetite I hear the sounds of youth up all night in the plaza Under the sleepless eyes of the grandmothers on the terrassa In the streets of Gràcia and on the Ramblas I see the searching eyes and youthful bodies pass And my own vanished youth Becomes my central truth Though I no longer care The truth is everywhere That soon the world I love will no longer be anywhere This is a song for Barcelona, city of Gaudíand Jujol City that ignited my desire, and temporarily, my soul They come from Ireland, they come from Africa They come from the U.S., they come from Canada They come from Norway, they come from China They come from Uruguay and from Bulgaria They come for pleasure They come for freedom For the chance encounter Or the revelation They come for business Or for adventure They fall in love with the information About the world and about each other They dream, and when they wake up They're not in Spain anymore This is a song for Barcelona for architecture and fútbol And for the streets that gave me refuge In my escape from rock and roll Una cançó per Barcelona Per respecte I future Per justícia I la terra, ara som sis milions I un Via Laeitana, Gran Via, Urquinaona, Tarragona, El Parra.lel Torrent de l'Olla, Carrer de l'Or, o Encarnació Plaça del Sol, Plaça del Tripi, Passeig del Born Sant Pere mes Alt, Sant Pere mes Baix Carrer Robadors, Carrer Escudallers Carrer del Mar, Carrer Vérdi Pinto Fortuny, Marcat dels Encants, Portal del Angel
