Juarez, I couldn't sleep tonight Juarez, you made me weep tonight Across the Rio Grande, I saw your poverty lights Goodnight, Juarez, good night Juarez, I used to paint the town Now you've gone and turned it upside down Into a dark and bloody battleground Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows Just caught the last bus out She said, "Seven sorrows used to fit the bill But I'd need ten thousand now" The mariachi horns are silent The guitars don't make a sound The children have all disappeared Or they're hiding underground The tourist market's empty now You wouldn't recognize this town Why, they even tore the bull ring down Goodnight, Juarez, good night Vuela, vuela, palomita, you old ragged And torn Dove of Peace Fly across this burning desert Where the bodies lie beneath Bring me back one faded rose A sign of love and hope And drop it down on this broken city Before it all goes up in smoke Juarez, I had a dream today The children danced as the guitars played And all the violence up and slipped away Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
