Lyrics
Looks like a holy city, baby
With the hills aglow
Looks like a holy city
With the hills aglow
It's Silverlake, baby
And it's worth more than gold
They got some Spanish angels
They got a lot of soul
They got some Mexican angels
They got a lot of soul
Yeah, it's Silverlake, baby
And it's about more than gold
Oye, Rosa Maria
Say a prayer for me
Put a candle in the window
So the jaded might see
Ah, Rosa Maria
Thank you for praying for me
Well you know, a poor boy can still go over there
And find a place to stay
Well, at least south of Sunset
He can find some place to rest his soul
Ah, Silverlake, baby
It's worth more than gold
Oye, Rosa Maria
Say a prayer for me
Put a candle in the window
So the jaded might see
Ah, Rosa Maria
Thank you for praying for me
