Spanish Dancer
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
Oh, 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
He is just a man after all
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
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
Oh, 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
He is just a man after all
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
