Spanish Steps

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" Turn my back to my homeland Throw a coin over my shoulder I hear the water break May good luck come my way 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 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 Turned my back to my homeland Never looked over my shoulder I heard my mother say "You've lost something along the way" 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 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 How long does take to get to Rome? When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
