John Bosco (Arenal)

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

Arenal is the name of an active volcano that overlooks the town of Fortuna in Costa Rica.

lyrics

Hours spent on gravel roads
Past the mango and papaya roads
Fools of Fortune teasing fate
The volcano faced the other way

The first time
A motel
In the heart of Costa Rica
That was named
After my
Patron saint

Parents off to see the town
Another bang - the ash came raining down

The first time
A motel
In the heart of Costa Rica
That was named
After my
Patron saint

Somebody's daughter in my arms
A nervous son working on charm
A twist of luck, a turn of fate

Lured by the fingers through the door
These clumsy hands hoping for more
A quick teen game of give and take
I never caught her name

Find the hot springs at the base
The volcano faced the other way

The first time
A motel
In the heart of Costa Rica
That was named
After my
Patron saint
