lyrics

Lyrics:

The colored glass, the ancient stone
You and I stood there alone
A banner from the summer gone
hailed 1000 years
A chair suspended from a wall
A Roman bridge that did not fall
when bombs arrived in 1936

The light that followed us around
I fell in love in that old town
where nothing changes,
nothing goes away

Along the road we saw a man
who ducked his head
but raised his hand
Then walked inside a gate
and crossed a field
He might have been ten decades old
I wonder what it’s like to know
something so well it’s like there’s nothing else

The light that followed us around
I fell in love in that old town
where nothing changes,
nothing goes away

I can see you standing
on the edge of that field
Timid, unfamiliar with our mood
And I can feel your arm around
my shoulders as we walk
along the cobbled streets of Besalu

The bells that told us it was time
to catch the Barcelona line
Shadows marked the ending of a day

The light that followed us around
I fell in love in that old town
where nothing changes,
nothing goes away
