The third (or fourth, if you count the intro) song from Beirut’s album The Flying Club Cup, released in 2007 by 4AD Records.
The track takes on the feeling of Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico (Misspelt here as “Guyamas”) – the only town that is not in Europe.
[Verse 1]
In the hall I heard your faints falling
Your trial and my corrections made
You had all the prayers of my loose heart
You had all the prayers of once had gone
[Verse 2]
No I was not there on the church stairs
The wind in my hair fled through night's air
No I was not there on the church stairs
The wind in my hair fled through night's air
[Refrain]
Me I wanted, I wanted the right time
Me I wanted, I wanted the fire in line
Me I wanted, I wanted the right time
Me I wanted, I wanted the fire in line
