Patti Scialfa |
|
Oh mama there's this |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
Whose steps |
|
I follow when he comes near |
|
The red dress of temptation |
|
Over a long black slip of fear |
|
Will I fall beneath the shadow |
|
Of some broken cross |
|
My arms emptied and all my treasures lost |
|
Still like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I throw my roses down for him |
|
Across these beds of darkness |
|
He opens his arms and gathers them in |
|
Oh mama the bridges were burning |
|
Over a river black and cold |
|
But I walked when love commanded me |
|
Up to the edges of his soul |
|
But I'm still frightened of that dark divide |
|
Will I gain entrance or be denied |
|
Still like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I throw my roses down for him |
|
Across these beds of darkness |
|
He opens his arms and gathers them in |
|
Oh mama when you were a young girl |
|
Did you ever love a man so much |
|
As if he were some fantastic jewel |
|
That you should never be worthy of |
|
But all those illusions strip and fall |
|
And he is just a man after all |
|
And just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I throw my roses down for him |
|
Across these beds of darkness |
|
He opens his arms and gathers them in |
|
Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I throw my rose down for him |
|
Across these beds of darkness |
|
He opens his arms and gathers them in |
|
Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I Just like that |
|
Spanish dancer |
|
I |
