Spanish Burgundy Lyrics - The Long Way Around - Tom Russell

Barcelona is a woman's town women everywhere 

Barcelona is a woman's eyes, raven gypsy hair 

I got drunk in Barcelona and then she walked away from me 

My tears ran down a bottle of Spanish burgundy 

And I drank until I slept and I slept until I dream 

In every dream her lips did taste of Spanish burgundy 

There was once a gypsy saying, it may come from Catalan 

First the man he takes the drink and then the drink it takes the man 

It may lead you to destruction or a love that's meant to be 

But beware of Barcelona girls and the Spanish Burgundy 

And we drink until we sleep and we sleep until we dream 

We dream of Barcelona girls and Spanish burgundy 

So I will join the old men down in the sad cafe 

The sun goes up the sun goes down, shadows cross our face 

As we sing of how it might of been oh and how it used to be 

And the moon shines through the bottles of Spanish burgundy 

And we drink until we sleep and we sleep until we dream 

We dream of Barcelona girls and Spanish burgundy 

And we drink until we sleep and we sleep until we dream 

In every dream her lips did taste of Spanish burgundy
