Spanish Steps Lyrics by Ciaran McMeeken

Ciaran McMeeken

2017

[Verse 1]
There's a place that I once heard about
In a story that was read to me out loud
A land of make believe or so it seemed
And it took me to a place of hopes and dreams
My mother said to me when I turned 18
"There’s a ship and it’s sailing across the sea
Just promise me boy you'll write me every day
Now leave before my mind changes"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Turn my back to my homeland
Throw a coin over my shoulder
I hear the water break
May good luck come my way
[Chorus]
How long does take to get to Rome?
When you’re standing on the other side of the globe
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
[Verse 2]
I'm singing tunes in the Chorus cafe
24 years to the day I have been awake
My feet are standing still on foreign ground
There’s no map to show you this side of town
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Turned my back to my homeland
Never looked over my shoulder
I heard my mother say
"You've lost something along the way"
[Chorus]
How long does take to get to Rome?
When you’re standing on the other side of the globe
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
How long does take to get to Rome?
When you’re standing on the other side of the globe
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
[Outro]
How long does take to get to Rome?
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
