letra de full moon over managua - robbie o’connell

in the casa grande garden, we sat at evening time
politely making small talk while the waiters poured more wine
and it seemed like some old movie that i saw so long ago
until i looked out through the chain link fence at the city down below

[chorus]
there’s a full moon over managua, and the wind is in the trees
the stars are shining clear tonight, there’s music on the breeze
the palm tree silhouettes against the sky look like a painted scene
as i wonder to myself who really is the enemy

and up in the northern mountains, not so many miles away
silent eyes watch through the night waiting for the break of day
and the smell of burning wheat fields still lingers in the sky
with the silence sometimes broken by the crack of rifle fire

i saw a woman rocking on her porch, her eyes as hard as steel
a machine gun cradled in her arms where a baby might have been
she said that though she hadn’t much, at least it was her own
and she’d rather die than go back to the way it was before
[chorus]
there’s a full moon over managua, and the wind is in the trees
the stars are shining clear tonight, there’s music on the breeze
the palm tree silhouettes against the sky look like a painted scene
as i wonder to myself who really is the enemy

and i never will forget the night, at the ruins of the grand hotel
the cloggers danced their hearts out, and we gave the music h-ll
and the bats flew like mosquitoes as the moon rose overhead
and we knew that we would never all have such a night again
