Convalescing in Spain<br />

Trying to purge this sickness<br />

You started in me<br />

At the outdoor cafes<br />

Trying to cool this fever<br />

Drink, relief, recovery<br />

In the scratchy shade<br />

Of a dusty almond tree<br />

Boozing it up with friends I've made<br />

Yeah, we laugh till we cry<br />

They don't know my mind<br />

Is oceans away<br />

The people really like me here<br />

My Spanish is getting better<br />

But all I want to do is<br />

Break away from them<br />

And write you another letter<br />

That I'll never send<br />

I fold them into boats<br />

Set them afloat in the<br />

Neighborhood pool<br />

The children love them till they<br />

Sink and say, "Hagame uno mas!<br />

Esos son muy cool!"<br />

Running on the beach<br />

Over the rocky part<br />

I can almost forget that<br />

Forgetting is the hardest part<br />

That letting go<br />

Is only a state of mind<br />

That love is impure<br />

That love is blind<br />

I'm talkin' blinkers, baby<br />

Running on the beach<br />

Over the rocky part<br />

I can almost forget that<br />

Forgetting is the hardest part<br />

Convalescing in Spain<br />

I've been keeping a diary<br />

And I must be getting well<br />

Cause I write less of you<br />

And more of me<br />

Things like<br />

Did we sleep through the best part?<br />

Did we cry through the worst part?<br />

Did we chinga through the good days?<br />

Did we get stuck with the end?<br />

Don't we cry when someone<br />

Steals the show<br />

Hate when it's someone we know?<br />

Perhaps this is the best part<br />

Convalescing in Spain<br />

Perhaps this is the best part<br />

Convalescing in Spain<br />
