Convalescing In Spain Lyrics - Judybats

Convalescing in Spain 

Trying to purge this sickness 

You started in me 

At the outdoor cafes 

Trying to cool this fever 

Drink, relief, recovery 

In the scratchy shade 

Of a dusty almond tree 

Boozing it up with friends I've made 

Yeah, we laugh till we cry 

They don't know my mind 

Is oceans away 

The people really like me here 

My Spanish is getting better 

But all I want to do is 

Break away from them 

And write you another letter 

That I'll never send 

I fold them into boats 

Set them afloat in the 

Neighborhood pool 

The children love them till they 

Sink and say, "Hagame uno mas! 

Esos son muy cool!" 

Running on the beach 

Over the rocky part 

I can almost forget that 

Forgetting is the hardest part 

That letting go 

Is only a state of mind 

That love is impure 

That love is blind 

I'm talkin' blinkers, baby 

Running on the beach 

Over the rocky part 

I can almost forget that 

Forgetting is the hardest part 

Convalescing in Spain 

I've been keeping a diary 

And I must be getting well 

Cause I write less of you 

And more of me 

Things like 

Did we sleep through the best part? 

Did we cry through the worst part? 

Did we chinga through the good days? 

Did we get stuck with the end? 

Don't we cry when someone 

Steals the show 

Hate when it's someone we know? 

Perhaps this is the best part 

Convalescing in Spain 

Perhaps this is the best part 

Convalescing in Spain
