I'm going to visit my brother in Spain
He says the women there sing like the rain
They sing in a chorus
They sing all alone
They sing from the balconies and melt hearts of stone
And when their singing's all done
They lie on the beach in the sun
I'm going to visit my sister in France
She says the people there really can dance
They spin and they circle and stare down at the street
They jump up and down like there's fire in their feet
And when their dances are done
They lie on the beach in the sun
I'm going to stay in my pretty small house
With my dog and family my cat and the mouse
And we'll walk every day down to the sea
And remember how different life used to be
And when our remembering's done
We'll lie on the beach in the sun
