| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Songs From The Capeman | | Track: | Born In Puerto Rico | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 99 | | | | Lyrics: | SALVADOR
I was born in Puerto Rico
We came here when I was a child
Before I reached
the age of sixteen
I was running with the gang and we were wild
He keeps looking but
he don't recognize me.
Some guy from Lexington or Park
Red beans and rice from kitchen
windows
Supper-time and the barrio is dark.
No one knows you like I do
Nobody
can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that you've been through
But I
will.
SAL & THE VAMPIRES
I was born in Puerto Rico
And my blood is
Taino
Spanish Caribbean my soul
SALVADOR
We came here wearing summer clothes in
winter
Hearts of sunshine in the cold
Your family rented this apartment
You'd watch
the street lamps from your perch
In the sacramental hour your stepfather
in
black
Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church
No one knows you like I
do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that you've
been
through
But this will.
SAL & THE VAMPIRES
I was born in Puerto
Rico
Came here when I was a child.
SALVADOR
Small change and sunlight, then I
left these
streets for good.
My days as short as they were wild.

SALVADOR
Your features blurred in every grainy photo
And fading headline
of the Daily News
Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children
Auburn, Brooklyn House of
D.,
Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica,
Greenhaven
SALVADOR
Twenty years inside,
today you're free.
You cannot even read your story
The pages piling up in
shame
Before the words released you,
the guard would kill the light
The night you
took The Capeman for your name.
CHORUS
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in
Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in
Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto
Rico
