Song For Bilbao

Music: Pat Metheny
Lyrics: Randy Phillips 

It’s when the days done, in Bilbao
people meet, in the square.
Throwing dice, in the plaza
conversation, everywhere.
Turning around from North to South
the old ones speak, the young ones shout.
by the Ria, de Bilbao
in the sweet, summer air.

In the plaza, of Bilbao
it’s the spirit, in their eyes.
In the faces, of all the people
under the spell, of Spanish skies.
Turning around from East to West
the families stroll, the lovers kiss.
The days done, in Bilbao
There is music, in the streets.

Set to Pat Metheny’s “Song For Bilbao”
