Havana Vieja - Susto

We woke up in a single bed

In the room where your grandmother died

Your friend came to do your hair

I hid in a room out of sight

And then I rode to the National Hotel

In the Lada with your brother

And I have never felt more alone in my whole life

You showed up about ten minutes after us

In your uncle’s car with your mother

When you walked through the lobby in your white dress

All those tourists' jaws dropped to the floor

Then we took all our photos out in the courtyard

That’s when I looked at you and told you that I would call you my wife

Then we all piled in to the car and drove to Havana Vieja

The table had been set

And all of our guests were on their way

And then it rained like it hasn’t rained for a thousand years

Such a foreshadowing of our love on the wedding day

Then it rained like it hasn’t rained for a thousand years

And I have never felt more alone in my whole life
