lirik lagu philip glass - the night of santiago
the night of santiago
and i was passing through
so i took her to the river
as any man would do
she said she was a virgin
what wasn’t what i heard
but i’m not the inquisition
i took her at her word
and yes she lied about it all
her children and her husband
you were meant to judge the world
forgive me what i wasn’t
the lights went out behind us
the fireflies undressed
the broken sidewalk ended
i touched her sleeping br~~sts
they opened to mе urgently
like lilies from thе dead
behind a fine embroidery
her nipples rose like bread
her petticoat was starched and loud
and crushed between her legs
it thundered like a living cloud
beset by razor blades
no silver light to plate their leaves
the trees grew wild and high
a file of dogs patrolled the beach
to keep the night alive
we passed the th~rns and berry bush
the reeds and pr~ckly pear
i made a hollow in the earth
to nest her dampened hair
then i took off my necktie
and she took off her dress
my belt and pistol set aside
we tore away the rest
her skin was oil and ointments
and brighter than a sh~ll
your gold and glass appointments
will never shine so well
her thighs they slipped away from me
like schools of startled fish
though i’ve forgotten half my life
i still remember this
that night i ran the best of roads
upon a mighty charger
but very soon i’m overthrown
and she’s become the rider
now, as a man i won’t repeat
the things she said aloud
except for this, my lips are sealed forever
and for now
and soon there’s sand in every kiss
and soon the dawn is ready
and soon the night surrenders
to a daffodil machete
i gave her something pretty
and waited till she laughed
i wasn’t born a gypsy
to make a woman sad
i didn’t fall in love of course
it’s never up to you
but she was walking back and forth
and i was passing through
when i took her to the river
in her virginal apparel
when i took her to the river
on the night of santiago
and yes she lied about her life
her children and her husband
you were born to get it right
forgive me but i wasn’t
the night of santiago
and i was passing through
and i took her to the river
as any man would do
