Sister - think I'm returning to Peru

Wish that I never came here

They can't pronounce my name here

Everyone asks me "Where's Peru?"

In Peru we've lengthened the day
Cadd9 B
In Peru we've strengthened the dollar

There are mountains piercing our skies
A7sus4 B
And the ocean at our shores

I will save up all of my wages
Cadd9 B
Even retail crummy cosmetics

I will work my passage in stages
A7sus4 B
As the winter slips away.
