Lyrics

Santo Domingo Night
Karine Ste-Marie, 2018

Midnight strikes
The stranger calls
Let’s get together
Let’s go and live it all
Playing love
Giving just enough
To lead me on
To take me down

He’s on the verge of something real he cannot see
Let’s hit the road, let’s run the streets so we can breathe

Baby’s looking for freedom, he’s waiting for that call
Where everything will find meaning, where barriers will fall
Baby’s searching for answers under the midnight stars
The wind blowing against us, where danger’s watching all

But when he runs he flies
Under the moonlit skies
We’ve got nowhere to hide
Santo Domingo night

Filthy streets
Hungry eyes
Famished dogs asleep
Burnt out lullabies
Teenage broken dreams
A harsher life
The victim or the thief
A thin disguise

We’re running on the line of trouble, we’ve gone astray
One wrong move and then the blade could hit the prey

CHORUS

Yeah when he runs he flies
Under the moonlit skies
We’ve got nowhere to hide
Santo Domingo Night

Midnight strikes
The stranger calls
Let’s get together
Let’s go and live it all
