Lyrics

Spanish Rose

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The wine beneath the bed,

The things we've done and said

And all the memories that come glancing back to me

In my loneliness

You're standing in the breach

Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach

Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering

Where you're at.

Hmm, take me back again,

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

The way you pulled the gate

Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late,

Come on, let's have a ball

And swing the town tonight."

And hoping you'd come through

And many others, too,

And all the friends we used to have in days gone by,

I'm wondering

If you'll take me back again,

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

And when the lights went out

And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom,

In the room we danced

And many hearts were torn

And when the word went around that everything was wrong

And couldn't be put right

It tore me up, it tore me up.

In slumber you did sleep,

The window I did creep

And touch your raven hair and sing that song

Again to you.

You did not even wince,

You thought I was the Prince

To come and take you from your misery

And lonely castle walls.

Ah, take me back again,

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

[Fadeout]

Ah ah, ah ah,

Mmmj, mmm,

Da da da di da da da ...
