Whispering in Castillian

about

i wrote this song a month after returning from my travels in spain. while living in Valencia at age 19- i had many life changing experiences. to integrate- i would play my acoustic guitar almost everyday on the playa with the mediterranean sea gazing at me. many stories came from these hours spent staring into the sea.

lyrics

Bring me back to that place where I was about a month ago
Lying on the beach thinking to myself
Where did that thing called time go

New faces and place that would shake
At times I didn’t know how to swallow
I’d watch the children play down below
Watching from so high up off the ground

I wanna wrap myself up in sand again
And drink all my sorrows away
I wanna walk on down those cobblestone streets
Sun rising to the word to that the oceans saying
Whispering in Castilian

Oh send in the band
Make this settle in my hand
And the open oceans smoking
And the rhythm of the feet hit the sand

Slipped right out from under me
Cannot do it again
Slipped right out from under me
I don’t know where I could have held on
And now I find myself in a place where I can’t decide
If I should stay or if I should move on

Where is my book she thought to herself
I had something to write down
And this is nothing unusual
Just another thing that I have yet to come around to

I wanna wrap myself up in sand again
And drink all my sorrows away
I wanna walk on down those cobblestone streets
Sun rising to the word to that the oceans said
Whispering in Castilian

Where is my book she thought to herself
I had something to write down
And this is nothing unusual
Just another thing that I have yet to come around to
And she wrote….

Bring me back to that place where I was about a month ago
Lying on the beach thinking to myself
Where did that thing called time go
