spanish dancer

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, 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, 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, just like that spanish dancer i, just like that spanish dancer i, throw my roses down for him
