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 |
| 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 |
