From the recording The Grand Voyage
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
