From the recording Shimmer
Lyrics
EL GUERO
You only shimmer now
I only wonder how
All night, all night, all night long
Old house still stands out back
Rooms full of blood on the tracks
All night, all night, all night long
Flower heavy, all wet with dew
You always made it through
All night, all night, all night long
Faded letters still show your name
Mailbox still tilts the same
All night, all night, all night long
Honeysuckle along the street
They say you never missed a beat
Records piled against the wall
Old bass and a wrecking ball
Was your mamma’s neighborhood
She did the best she could
All night, all night, all night long
Snakeskin nailed by your door
Don’t come around here any more
All night, all night, all night long
Shady grove and tattoo sleeves
Pink bird in a pile of leaves
All night, all night, all night long
Honeysuckle along the street
They say you never missed a beat
Records piled against the wall
Old bass and a wrecking ball
