Barcelona

Barcelona where the winds all blewAnd the churches don’t have windows but the graveyards doMe and my shadow are wrestling a gainLook out stranger, there’s a dark cloud moving inBut if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell youI’m afraid I am aloneWon’t somebody please hold me, release meShow me the […]
