San Cristobal Lyrics & Tabs by Mal Blum
San Cristobal
guitar chords lyrics
I have not been writing
that many new songs
how I wish I could stay longer
how I wish I'd never gone
You have not been writing
me as often as I wished
and sometimes I think I left you
just to see if I'd be missed
I saw my fortune scrawled out
up against the wall
in a crowded market place
in a town I can't recall
and the teller told me that I would be
young and I would fall
but my new friends all assured me
and the teller told me that I would be
young and I would fall
but my new friends all assured me
that it all was surely false
Back at home, you found religion
in a dirty crystal ball
in the back of a dollar store
in that shopping mall
I found religion
out in San Cristobal
now I feel that I've come far enough
to give you a call
I have not been writing
as often as I'd hoped
but there are some things you're good at
and then some you can't control
You have not been visiting
I can't say that I mind
'Cause every time you go somewhere
you leave somewhere behind
I saw my fortune scrawled out
up against the wall
in a crowded market place
in a town I can't recall
and the teller told me that I would be
young and I would fall
but I didn't think he meant so soon
so soon at all
Back at home, you found religion
in a dirty crystal ball
in the back of a dollar store
in that shopping mall
I found religion
out in San Cristobal
now I feel that I've come far enough
to give you a call
So I'm calling now but it says
I don't got the number right
Your body looks to me
a way it never has before
and is this what's making you so sad,
and what you did this for?
She said,
your body looks to me
a way it never has before
and is this what's making you so sad,
and I can't do this anymore
I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall
in the back of a liquor store
in that mini mall
you found religion
when you realized you could fall
now you say that you've come far enough
to give me a call
So you're calling now,
but I lie and I tell you that I moved
Everything's brand new.
