Lyrics

To Get to Spain Music and Lyrics by David Nigel Chalmers

Verse 1

It takes so long for the winter wind to subside

And things go wrong, so we feel empty deep inside

And as we cope with feelings of deep despair

A ray of hope finds its way in the midnight air

The darkest night fades into dawn

Chorus

Sometimes to get to the sunshine

You gotta take a walk in the rain

Sometimes you gotta go to Africa

If you wanna get to Spain


Verse 2

We make our plans but the best ones just fade away

And our demands outpace our will to pay

And we can't see the road that will lead us through

Then suddenly we see the way to begin anew

And we were right all along

Chorus

Dah Dah counterpoint Everything will turn out fine

Just as long as you are mine

Just as long as you are mine

Verse 3

The road is fraught with obstacles all the way

Our hearts are caught and we can't find the words to say

And yet because our destination is hard to see

A moment's pause then we find our epiphany


And the road leads me to you

Chorus

Sometimes to get to the sunshine

You gotta take a walk in the rain

Sometimes you gotta go to Africa

If you wanna get to Spain

Sometimes you gotta go to Africa

If you wanna get to Spain
