I got here late
This hostel is full
But for six bucks
Vicente lets me sleep on the floor
Tells me it's mellow
Won't be noisy at all
But you know
She lies
And she takes pictures of me
While I sleep
Laughs in the morning as she shows them to me
Says, "Don't be mad, please don't leave
There's a party tonight"
Cuz down here the 25th don't mean a thing
In Columbia, it's all about Christmas Eve
So I change my plans and I
Drop my things and I say alright
And we talk about Joeseph and Mary
Out in the cold tryin' to have their baby.
Vincente said
If they'd come to Cartegena instead
They could have slept on her floor
And these two french guys have
All the drugs so we
Smoke on the balcony and
Talk about love
Say "You might as well love all the way if you're gonna love at all"
Then Vicente
She just nods
So we gather everyone
Assemble the team
Go to the Plaza with my
Guitar and sing
It's all request Wednesday
And somehow it seems
We find some songs we can agree upon
And we talk about Joseph and Mary
Out in the cold tryin' to have their baby
Vincente said
If they'd come to Cartegena instead
They could have slept on her floor
No one can shower here
Everything is broken
I've exhausted my Spanish
All my words have been spoken
So I play some Bob Marley
I make an exception
And we all come together for a song
Vincente asks me why I smile while I sleep
Wonders who I think about when I dream
I tell her about you and she does not believe
But she wishes me luck anyway
So I decided I would find you again
I learned to pronounce my double L's as J's
And I will take you dancin' I am no longer am afraid
I found all my courage out here
And we'll talk about Joseph and Mary
Out in the cold trying to have their baby
If their born again they should
Come to Cartegena instead
I know a place
They could sleep on the floor.
