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
