about

Nora leaves Sam and the crew in Gibraltar on July 13th.

lyrics

Verse 1
I saw you lying in the sea
You looked inside and then at me
You were confused by what I said
My words were dry like broken bread

Chorus
The innocence, I couldn’t read
The Spanish life, I couldn’t feed
Maybe I’m too strong to tell
That I had spent too long in hell

Verse 2
The sunshine was your favorite tune
But now I’m singing under the moon
Cause your heart bent like burning glass
To tell the stars it couldn’t last

(Chorus)

Verse 3
And after all we could’ve done
You left me for that Spanish sun
I wonder where you’re gonna stay
Oh Nora take my breath away

(Chorus)
