Lyrics

Santiago

On the streets of Santiago,
I met a girl with skin so fair.
Lonely eyes like Nuestra Dama,
And a voice like a Nightingale.

This ain?t no Cuban Love Song,
This ain?t no Rhapsody.
Ain?t no Troubador?s song,
?Cause she don?t care for me.

But I love her so,
She don?t know.

In the bar we drank mojitos,
Upon her lips, I could taste the rum.
My baby danced to an old world salsa,
I took a chance when I took her home.

Chorus

Bridge

She rises, the sun soon follows
Diamonds shinin? on her walk of shame.
The closer I come, the farther she goes
Street corner girl don?t even know my name.

Chorus.
