Salvador Sanchez Lyrics

The song Salvador Sanchez is performed by Sun Kil Moon in the album named Ghosts of the Great Highway in the year 2003 .



Salvador Sanchez arrived and vanished
Only twenty-three with so much speed
Owning the highway

Mexico City bred so many
But none quite like him sweet warrior
Pure magic matador

Pancho Villa would never rest
'Til 1925 he closed his eyes
'Til Manilla stars would rise

Gozo of the Philippines, choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings plays for his legend
Italy had a king

How have they gone?
Fell by leather
So alone but bound together

Benny 'Kid' Paret came a good way
Climbed the gray sky to raise his hands
Stopped by the better man

Eyes of Los Rios cry for suns
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
Struck and delivered him

How have they gone?
Fell by leather
So alone but bound together

Why have they gone?
Fell by leather
So alone, all bound together
