Barcelona Turnaround

Liner Notes

#lyricsonly #needsmusic
For the challenge of a there-and-back-again story, I ended up with the opposite, a story of a moment of enlightenment from which there is no turning back regardless of what the itinerary says. I hope someone can provide music for this one.

Lyrics

Barcelona
Was supposed to be my turnaround
On my bargain fare to Madrid
I flew in on a Tuesday
Was supposed to fly back out again
On Thursday but I never did

I had to stay
Two nights to qualify
Asking all the while why am I here
That’s a big question
But I had time to recognize
What I’d been running from all these years

Turn your life around in Barcelona
This is where you’ll finally get it right
You’ll never go back home to California
When you look down from the hills and see the light

When the truth lands
You tend to freeze in place
There’s no sense in running from the facts
Like a sea breeze
When it hits you in the face
That’s when you know that there’s no turning back

It’s just a moment
When you turn a corner
Shadows disappear and all you see is light
Blink your eyes again
And the past is gone
And then there is no reason left to fight

Turn your life around in Barcelona
This is where you’ll finally get it right
You’ll never go back home to California
When you look down from the hills and see the light
