[ti: The Night of Santiago]
[length: 04:15]

[00:19.78]She said she was a maiden
[00:22.20]That wasn’t what I heard
[00:25.48]For the sake of conversation
[00:28.68]I took her at her word
[00:31.45]The lights went out behind us
[00:34.54]The fireflies undressed
[00:37.49]The broken sidewalk ended
[00:40.44]I touched her sleeping breasts
[00:43.61]They opened to me urgently
[00:46.19]Like lilies from the dead
[00:49.15]Behind a fine embroidery
[00:51.92]Her nipples rose like bread
[00:55.22]Then I took off my necktie
[00:57.84]And she took off her dress
[01:00.88]My belt and pistol set aside
[01:03.34]We tore away the rest
[01:08.08]The night of Santiago
[01:11.14]And I was passing through
[01:13.64]So I took her to the river
[01:16.89]As any man would do
[01:19.89]Her thighs, they slipped away from me
[01:22.55]Like schools of startled fish
[01:25.84]Though I’ve forgotten half my life
[01:28.61]I still remember this
[01:31.53]Now, as a man, I won’t repeat
[01:34.16]The things she said aloud
[01:37.45]Except for this, my lips are sealed forever
[01:41.55]And for now
[01:43.20]And soon, there’s sand in every kiss
[01:46.06]And soon, the dawn is ready
[01:48.90]And soon, the night surrenders
[01:51.79]To a daffodil machete
[01:54.86]I gave her something pretty
[01:57.68]And I waited till she laughed
[02:00.87]I wasn’t born a gypsy
[02:03.42]To make a woman sad
[02:08.12]The night of Santiago
[02:10.97]And I was passing through
[02:13.97]I took her to the river
[02:16.95]As any man would do
[02:19.76]The night of Santiago
[02:22.62]And I was passing through
[02:25.56]I took her to the river
[02:28.58]As any man would do
[02:43.26]I didn’t fall in love, of course
[02:45.65]It’s never up to you
[02:48.93]But she was walking back and forth
[02:51.74]And I was passing through
[02:54.60]When I took her to the river
[02:57.58]In her virginal apparel
[03:00.64]When I took her to the river
[03:03.59]On that night of Santiago
[03:06.93]And yes she lied about it all
[03:09.48]Her children and her husband
[03:12.71]You were born to judge the world
[03:15.06]Forgive me but I wasn’t
[03:19.65]The night of Santiago
[03:22.46]And I was passing through
[03:25.42]I took her to the river
[03:28.55]As any man would do
[03:31.43]The night of Santiago
[03:34.42]And I was passing through
[03:37.04]I took her to the river
[03:40.20]As any man would do
[03:43.10]The night of Santiago
[03:46.11]And I was passing through
[03:48.92]So I took her to the river
[03:52.03]As any man would do
[03:54.99]The night of Santiago
[03:57.88]And I was passing through
[04:00.37]So I her to the river
[04:03.75]As any man would do
