Goodnight, Juarez
Juarez, I couldn't sleep tonight Juarez, you made me weep tonight Across the Rio Grande, I saw your poverty lights Goodnight, Juarez, good night
Juarez, I used to paint the town Now you've gone and turned it upside down Into a dark and bloody battleground Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows Just caught the last bus out She said, 'Seven sorrows used to fit the bill But I'd need ten thousand now'
The mariachi horns are silent The guitars don't make a sound The children have all disappeared Or they're hiding underground
The tourist market's empty now Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You wouldn't recognize this town Why, they even tore the bull ring down Goodnight, Juarez, good night
Vuela, vuela, palomita, you old ragged And torn Dove of Peace Fly across this burning desert Where the bodies lie beneath
Bring me back one faded rose A sign of love and hope And drop it down on this broken city Before it all goes up in smoke
Juarez, I had a dream today The children danced as the guitars played And all the violence up and slipped away Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
