hailey, it happens - cuernavaca lyrics
Loading...
she slipped through my fingers
with the sway of a tango dancer
under the brilliant lights of the bay
and it left me in such a state
to watch all those ships depart
while we both put our swords away
i lowered this city to its grave
so that heaven could see me now
i kicked my legs, just off the docks
whistling through the fuzzy haze
on that blackened chicago day
with my lungs long past spent
i’d challenge even the fiercest wind
like a thief on his knees, praying for a getaway
and everybody knows
that i’ve been growing old
say “bon voyage” with a wave
and everybody knows
that i’ve been growing old
i lowered this city to its grave
