Rainy day in Barcelona

I'm reminded suddenly of that cold April day
It rained all night and all day long

We had small umbrellas and big rucksacks

You and i like Audrey sang were

Two drifters

Off to see the world

Two feathers carried by the wind

Light and willing

Ready to fly, ready to be led

So little seemed to be in our control

We walked all day

It rained all day

There was wind

and it was cold

Our clothes were wet

And so were the shoes

We were tired and broke

The museum was shut

We lost our way

On a lonely mountain

We took the wrong bus

And some boys teased us

And through it all, we were wet!

And yet

We took some good pictures

Of naked Greek men

We giggled at them and

Made some jokes

Rode ticketless on the down bus

Felt very clever

We were the divas

Just ignored those blokes

We bought some hot coffee

Or was it hot chocolate?

Only remember how good it felt

Both inside and out
Our poor, frozen hands

Later that night we dried our shoes

On the heater in the room

We rested our weary feet

and has some cheap wine

That day was ours

We'd lived it well

We'd been tested

And lived to tell

And we were happy

I remember we smiled

We talked till we slept

Without turning out the light

Sweet dreams all the way

And am thinking now

As i thought back then

What a perfect day!
