Barcelone by Vernon J.L. Meidlinger-Chen
(An entry for the NPR tiny desk contest)
---
A certain type of person makes me nervous
But that’s the kind I can’t seem to shake
I try to escape them and I go away to Spain
But they’re there
There are three things that always make me cry
Arias, cathedrals, and the night sky
And if I found all three of them in the same place
I might die
To be a cat on the roof of La Pedrera
Life, I think, would be pretty fine
As long as now and then you brought me
A little bit of fish, and wine
These are the things I discovered
These are the things I discovered
These are the things I discovered
In Barcelone
Elizabeth I sent you a postcard
From France though, not from Barcelone
I wouldn’t mind being in love here
But it’s nice to be here alone
A certain type of person makes you weary
But keeps you from the jaws of sleep
I used to think that somebody was you
But not I think that it’s me
These are the things I discovered
These are the things I discovered
These are the things I discovered
In Barcelone
If you want to paint like Pablo Picasso
Or better yet like Joan Miro
Just grab a pot of paint and don’t think
Just go go go
I feel ready to get on with traveling
I’m not ready to go back home
The best part about leaving
Is the hope that I’ll come back to Barcelone
A certain type of person has their memories
A certain type of person has their dreams
A certain type writes down both
In their notebooks under evergreens
