David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Seven Years lyrics

For seven years I been in hell
Seven years down in the hole
They said your watch, your glasses
And your wedding ring
You won't need them anymore

I felt abandoned, I felt cast aside
So where is God who never sleeps?
I heard a voice say why do you cry?
And then I found my inner peace

Ninoy, you were my first love
But you said I was too tall
The heart gets stronger and grows colder
For the Rose of Tacloban

I beg to God, could he forgive me now?
And take back all those things I said
This love was a gift from above
Maybe it's some kind of test

Santo Niño, Santo Niño
Take good care of you
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
Take good care of you

Ninoy, remember a long time ago

You used to walk me to my home
Who set you free, who built this hospital?
You think I hate you but you're wrong

For seven years I wore this crucifix
And necklace that watched over me
Face to face with mortality
I let go of all my fears

Now my husband, he might hate you
But you know I saved your life
Ninoy, don't be a hero
I beg you, don't get on the flight

Santo Niño, Santo Niño
Take good care of you
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
Take good care of you

Santo Niño, Santo Niño
Take good care of you
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
Take good care of you
