patti scialfa – spanish dancer lyrics
written by: 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
