Pierce Pettis - Veracruz lyrics

When the night comes rolling in my thoughts roll back to you And I'm holding you again on nights in Veracruz When the train whistle blows, it blows me clean away, back to old Mexico Sometimes I call your name Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon) If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz Down the old cobbled streets ran the Rosa Linda moon Where, as lovers, we would meet You were my pa**ion fruit With that smile on your face, how could I refuse? Now I long for one more taste of nights in Veracruz Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon) If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz Now the sun's coming up Dogs are barking; rooster crows I got black coffee in my cup and a chill down in my bones Oh, but once upon a time, there's a place that I once knew Where dark eyes still shine on those nights in Veracruz Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon) If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon) If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz Oh, nights in Veracruz
