Let this be our last goodbye
No need to wonder why
Never had the time to try
No, don't blame me
And don't let me down so slow
Damage done, now you can go
But a few things that you should know
Before you leave
And don't you never think of me as one among the rest
I got little else left to defend
I'm sure that you've seen better
But for you I did my best
But you'll go, I'll stay, I'll begin again
Just as you had planned
'Cause I've known lonesome things you can't come back from
I hope I never see your face again
And in the streets of old Juárez
The daughters of Hernán Cortés
Break their bodies for their bread
The strangest pain
And dress themselves by candlelight
And lips of red and robes of white
Step out to pulverize the night
Can you complain?
And all the faithless loyalties that decorate your chest
Will they bring you comfort in the end?
I'm sure that you've seen better
But for you I did my best
But sometimes, nighttime brings you back again
And I curse that western wind
'Cause I've known lonesome things you can't come back from
And I knew we'd be strangers in the end
