Oh mama there's this Spanish dancer,
C D
Whose steps I follow when he comes near,
G D
The red dress of temptation,
C D
Over a long black slip of fear,
Em Am7 D Em
Will I fall beneath the shadow of some broken cross,
C/G G D
My arms emptied and all my treasures los......t.
C D
Still like that Spanish dancer,
G D C
I throw my roses down for him,
D G
Across these beds of darkness,
G C
He opens his arms and gathers them in.
G D
Oh mama the bridges were burning,
C G/D D
Over a river black and cold,
G D
But I walked when love commanded me,
C D
Up to the edges of his soul,
Em C Em
But I'm still frightened of that dark divide,
C/G G D
Will I gain entrance or be denie......d.
C G/D D
Still like that Spanish dancer,
G D C
I throw my roses down for him,
D G
Across these beds of darkness,
G G/D D C
He opens his arms and gathers them in.

Oh mama when you were a young girl,
C D
Did you ever love a man so much,

As if he were some fantastic jewel,
C Bm D
That you should never be worthy of,
Em Cmaj7 Em
But all those illusions strip and fall,
C/G G D
And he is just a man after al......l.

Still like that Spanish dancer,
