the night before the day of the dead - john baumann lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
painted apparitions haunt the river walk
i’m back among the living after dying all night long
i’m casting half a shadow on cracked saltillo tile
i can hear a mariachi from about a quarter*mile

[chorus]
candy sugar skulls, hashtag marigolds
and a melody like a damp cloth
on the fever of my soul

[verse 2]
it’s dia de los muertos, but the day is almost gone
the blessed virgin candles are just barely hanging on
i can smell the sweet pan dulce driftin’ like a ghost
but añejo claimed my body and she ain’t lettin’ go

[chorus]
candy sugar skulls, hashtag marigolds
and a melody like a damp cloth
on the fever of my soul

[refrain]
“no esta noche”
that was all she said
the night before the day of the dead
[bridge]
the promenade is empty, the ghosts have all gone home
they took their calaveras with the frosting made of bones
and there ain’t no señoritas tonight in san antone

[refrain]
“no esta noche”
that was all she said
the night before the day of the dead
on the night before the day of the dead
