lyrics

He’s got flowers in his hands
He’s got that shirt on that you bought him years ago
He wonders if he’ll still be in demand
Wonders if he’ll find you in the places where you used to go

She’s got ribbons in her hair
The ones she used to tie around the letters that you sent
Dug out her Sunday best to wear
She remembers you resplendent in the uniform issued by the government

All the sins of Santiago couldn’t keep him from you
Nor you from him
You can take the boy out of the town but there’s a pretty little girl there that makes his world go around
And the ship he’s been sailing on has come aground again
Santiago he’s coming home

He never thought he’d get this far
Seen too much death in one lifetime to take anything else for granted
Pauses for a cigarette outside the bar
He’s been praying for this moment
She’s been longing for this war to end

All the sins of Santiago couldn’t keep him from you
Nor you from him
You can take the boy out of the town but there’s a pretty little girl there that makes his world go around
And the ship he’s been sailing on has come aground again
Santiago he’s coming home
