Sand Rubies - Santa Maria Street lyrics

rate me

Hey you

Don't let them get to you

Take these candles where we'll meet

Down on Santa Maria Street

Hey you

Take these flowers but take care

There's only whores and cheats down there

Down on Santa Maria Street

The northern lights, the neon signs

The progress that ruined once quiet nights

Except the corner where we will meet

On Santa Maria Street

Hey now

Plaster chips off Mary's face

Our little nook of weathered grace

Place another candle at her feet

Hey now

This corner they forgot to raze

Or got caught in a guilty phase

I hope they don't remember this place

The northern lights, the neon signs

The progress that ruined once quiet nights

They took the past and sold it back

On restaurant menus and baseball caps

And in this corner by candlelight

And that's where we'll meet

On Santa Maria Street
