Spanish Dancer Lyrics & Tabs by Patti Scialfa
Spanish Dancer
guitar chords lyrics
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
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 (6x)
