Sinner in the Sea

[00:13.49] There's a piano playing on the ocean floor between Havana and New Orleans
[00:37.94] Drummin' a requiem for the dead and the souls hanging on every poet's prayer
[00:50.98] Running to the rock, running to the sea
[00:57.41] Prayin' to the Lord please shelter me
[01:03.96] But the ground keeps shaking, water is boiling on fire
[01:10.05] Blood pulsing through their veins like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[01:19.57] Clocks stopping at twelve on the eve of a forgotten war
[01:29.52] Luis drivin' a '59 making it half way across the Gulf
[01:42.55] Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
[01:49.33] There's a wall in the ocean between you and me
[01:55.72] Dreams of reaching dry land, talking to the fortune teller
[02:02.54] Prisoners pounding the jail like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[02:11.30] Someone lost an eye, someone lost the truth
[02:25.80] Trying to save face, oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre
[02:38.41] Shout me a line sister, shout me a line sister
[02:48.12] Oh I see your hands in the air, see you drowning on the other side
[03:04.93] "Chief's in the parish and the drummers in the square
[03:18.39] Walkin' across the fire, walkin' across the waves"
[03:26.48] Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
[03:33.27] There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
[03:39.25] Running past the embassy gates, the Santería shrine
[03:45.70] Blood pulsing thru their veins like the waves they remember
[03:52.53] Crashing on the Malecón wall
[03:57.34]
