Ibiza Nights

by Simon Taylor

/

about

"Ibiza Nights" was written on return from a solo holiday based in Ibiza Town. It describes a state of being half at home in the darkening Autumn evenings of England while also feeling the distant pulse of recent nights in Spain. It is the third single to be released from my upcoming E.p "Under The Volcano", which will be out in early 2021.

“Made it back alone”
I groan

Cold
It’s cold
I pick up my old phone
And float

Ibiza nights of sunsets
Ibiza nights of regrets
Ibiza nights I won’t get
Ever since my heart fled
For darkness
And the grey of home

Ibiza nights of sunsets
Ibiza nights of warm air
Ibiza nights they’re gone yet
I feel them in my bones where
They linger with a golden glow

I’ve heard a thousand voices
Say: “you make the same old choices
So come out here and join us
And live the life you want
To know”

They’re dancing out in DC
Getting high on bad “e”
While I’m back here on this street
With images of fading hope

Ibiza nights of sunsets
Ibiza nights of regrets
Ibiza nights I won’t get
Since I fled in distress
Like some jilted dame
Of old

Ibiza nights of sunsets
Ibiza nights with no cares
Ibiza nights they’re gone yet
I see them in my mind-set
Like shadows of a ghost
I know
