david byrne - seven years lyrics

Loading...

[imelda]
for seven years you’ve been in here
seven years down in the hole. they said
“your watch, your gl-sses and your wedding ring
you won’t need them anymore.”

[ninoy]
what brings you here amongst us criminals?
have you not done enough to me?

[imelda]
i heard a voice say, “go and help him now”
so i have come to set you free

santo niño, santo niño
take good care of him
santo niño, santo niño
take good care of him

[imelda]
ninoy, you were my first love
but you said i was too tall
the heart gets stronger and grows colder
for the rose of tacloban

but ninoy, now, now i’m asking you
to take back all those things you said
you’ll be safer in america
and there are those who’d see you dead

[ninoy]
it’s my country that i’m leaving
i’ll keep it with me it’s never far
you must know that
i’m not guilty, you must know it in your heart

[imelda]
ninoy, remember a long time ago
you used to walk me to my home?
ninoy, don’t be a hero
promise me you won’t come back

santo niño, santo niño
take good care of him
santo niño, santo niño
take good care of him
santo niño, santo niño
take good care of him
