nica libres at dusk

Ben Howard

Door is locked my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she s reading
The evacuation procedure out loud

Close her off my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she s dreaming of Caribbean
Nica Libres at dusk

While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains whispers knowingly
I order a colada and sit to count my dollars
And watch eagle soar in circles

Perpetually

Door is locked my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she s reading
The evacuation procedure out loud

Close her off my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she s dreaming of Caribbean
Nica Libres at dusk

While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains mumble knowingly
I order a colada and sit count my dollars
And watch eagle soar in circles

Perpetually
Forever
Forever such a beautiful thing

Now I am older a knock over my shoulder
I know what is there in front of me
Ten Marlboro cigarettes and the rolled butts into bottles
Today I will stare at the sea

Till my eyes feel weak
