[Acoustic guitar intro] [Bright timple strumming] [Verse 1, Male Vocal] October fifteenth, the autumn air was sweet We climbed up the steps and took a first-deck seat The engine gave a hum right by the harbor side Leaving Santa Catalina for a double-decker ride Past the golden Canteras where the blue waves play We let the open breeze wash the routine away Listening to the history playing in our ears Watching Las Palmas rolling by as the city gears [Pre-Chorus, Handclaps build] [Rhythmic palmas] [Chorus, Dual Vocals, Group Harmony] Oh, we’re clicking our tickets and catching the breeze Cruising right under the Canary trees A beautiful day, a memory made From the modern shores to the history shade On our October tour, just floating along Singing a hop-on, hop-off song [Verse 2, Female Vocal] The driver pulled the brake as the streets grew old Where the stone-walled alleys have a story to be told We heard the announcement, the one we waited for: "Stop Number Six, step out the historic door" We hopped off the bus into Vegueta's embrace Stepping back in time to a completely different place [Chorus, Dual Vocals, Group Harmony] Oh, we’re clicking our tickets and catching the breeze Cruising right under the Canary trees A beautiful day, a memory made From the modern shores to the history shade On our October tour, just floating along Singing a hop-on, hop-off song [Bridge, Melodic and Spacious] We walked into the Plaza where the bronze dogs stand Looking up at Santa Ana, ancient and grand Twin towers reaching up into the island skies We went through the doors where the palm-tree pillars rise Up the tower elevator, higher we flew To see the whole Atlantic in a panoramic view The rooftops of Vegueta painted green and red An October afternoon we won't forget [Bright timple solo] [Upbeat acoustic guitar flamenco strum] [Verse 3, Dual Vocals] We walked the quiet courtyard, took the magic in Then checked the bus schedule to start the loop again Back onto the deck with the wind in our hair No track of the time, not a single care The perfect little stop on our autumn holiday [Outro, Softening, Group Vocals] October fifteenth, what a beautiful ride With the cathedral tower standing high with pride Yeah, we hopped off the bus And we smiled all the way On our hop-on, hop-off day [Acoustic guitar outro fade] [Final timple chord] [End]
