Spanish Dancer

Oh Mama there's a Spanish dancer
Steps I follow when he comes near
A red dress of temptation
With a long black slip of fear
Will I fall beneath the shadows some broken cross
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 the river black and cold
I hoped when love commanded me
Up to the edges of his soul
And still frightened of the 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 girl that
You should never be worthy of?
All those illusions shouldn't fall
He is just a man after all
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
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
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Just like that Spanish dancer I
