Hailey, It Happens - Cuernavaca Lyrics

Hailey, It Happens – Cuernavaca Lyrics

She slipped through my fingers
With the sway of a tango dancer
Under the brilliant lights of the bay

And it left me in such a state
To watch all those ships depart
While we both put our swords away

I lowered this city into its grave
So that heaven could see me now

I kicked my legs just off the docks
Whistling through the fuzzy haze
On that blackened Chicago day

With my lungs long past spent
I would challenge even the fiercest wind
Like a thief on his knees praying for a getaway

I lowered this city into its grave
So that heaven could see me now

Now everybody knows that I’ve been growing old
Say bon voyage with a wave

[Lyrics to Cuernavaca by Hailey, It Happens]
