Lyrics

Cordoba

[Verse 1]

A man was sleeping under a tree

He wrote to me from Cordoba

After the theatre, we went to his house

He's a very generous Cordoban

We waited at the door, but he didn't come

According to his father, he is very ill

[Verse 2]

There was a long line of cars in front of me

I came as soon as I could

I left without paying, a suitcase under my arm

I won't see you until Sunday

I'll come as soon as I can

I'll meet you alone in the shoe shop near the bakery

By the two-story house, very pretty like a villa

[Verse 3]

The lift stops between two floors

You start to walk towards the station

I walk towards the bus

You'll have to wait at the station

Leave the parcel on the top deck

[Outro]

You start to walk towards the station

I'll walk towards the bus

You walk towards the station

I'll walk towards the bus

You walk towards the station

I'll walk towards the bus

You walk towards the station

I'll walk towards the bus
