Lyrics
Sweet Sangria
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know you know every desperado
And sharp shooter in the West
You say that I can't see behind the mask
Of those who call themselves the good guys
In this who take and take
"So are you with me or not?", you say
"This time, decide."
Balmy days, sweet sangria
She's been gone, have you seen her?
Señorita shyly turning away
Leaving me our fading flame
Yeah, you think about that
What you believe in
It matters now to you and me
What you believe in
I'm taking in
I said I'm taking in
What you believe in
It matters now to you and me
Before sundown
The Mexicans leave San Antone
The car will then drop him at the border
The breaking point
I know your people have suffered time and time again
But what about I ask you now the innocents
On both sides
Balmy days, sweet sangria
She's been gone, have you seen her?
Señorita shyly turning away
Leaving me our fading flame
Yeah, you think about that
What you believe in
It matters now to you and me
What you believe in
'Cause I'm taking in
You say: "I'm taking in
what you believe in."
It matters now to you and me
So give me, give me, give me
A no window, I ask you
Give me, give me, give me
A bloodless road
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Why does
Does someone have to, have to, have to lose?
