Calexico - Sinner In The Sea letra de (lyrics)
[Calexico - Sinner In The Sea letra de lyrics]
There's a piano playing on the ocean
Floor between Havana and New Orleans
Drummin' a requiem for the dead and the
Souls hanging on every poet's prayer
Running to the rock, running to the sea
Prayin' to the Lord please shelter me
But the ground keeps shaking
Water is boiling on fire
Blood pulsing through their veins like the
Waves crashing on the Malecón wall
Clocks stopping at twelve on the
Eve of a forgotten war
Luis drivin' a '59 making it
Half way across the Gulf
Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
There's a wall in the ocean
Between you and me
Dreams of reaching dry land
Talking to the fortune teller
Prisoners pounding the jail like the waves
Crashing on the Malecón wall
Someone lost an eye, someone lost the truth
Trying to save face
Oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre
Shout me a line sister
Shout me a line sister
Oh I see your hands in the air
See you drowning on the other side
"Chief's in the parish and the
Drummers in the square
Walkin' across the fire
Walkin' across the waves"
Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
Running past the embassy gates
The Santería shrine
Blood pulsing thru their veins like
The waves they remember
Crashing on the Malecón wall
Floor between Havana and New Orleans
Drummin' a requiem for the dead and the
Souls hanging on every poet's prayer
Running to the rock, running to the sea
Prayin' to the Lord please shelter me
But the ground keeps shaking
Water is boiling on fire
Blood pulsing through their veins like the
Waves crashing on the Malecón wall
Clocks stopping at twelve on the
Eve of a forgotten war
Luis drivin' a '59 making it
Half way across the Gulf
Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
There's a wall in the ocean
Between you and me
Dreams of reaching dry land
Talking to the fortune teller
Prisoners pounding the jail like the waves
Crashing on the Malecón wall
Someone lost an eye, someone lost the truth
Trying to save face
Oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre
Shout me a line sister
Shout me a line sister
Oh I see your hands in the air
See you drowning on the other side
"Chief's in the parish and the
Drummers in the square
Walkin' across the fire
Walkin' across the waves"
Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
Running past the embassy gates
The Santería shrine
Blood pulsing thru their veins like
The waves they remember
Crashing on the Malecón wall
