lyrics

Wont you pass me our last cigarette in Cartagena
We’ve been striving since the break of day

And I know of our time
for which you’re not totally sold
But speaking strictly from me
as you're finally free
Oh it sure felt like gold
Wont you pass me our last cigarette in Cartagena

Our biggest of fears
Are finally made clear
Or at least
that’s what you whisper at my window

You say we know who we are
And I know you’ll go far
So don’t bend down your head in such sorrow

wont you pass me our last cigarette in Cartagena

For the ghost of you
Is all that I knew
You told me that one way or another

that we’ll walk past their time
All these saviors of rhyme
You really are a ghost of your father

Oh wont you pass me our last cigarette in Cartagena

All the mother’s wear black
To the wedding of their sons
And the warriors of wonder
Only walk past the ones

Who have questions to ask
Questions of wrong
And all these warriors of wonder
Only answer in song

Oh wont you pass me our last cigarette in Cartagena
