Spanish Dancer -Emmylou Harris 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 And 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 Just like that Spanish dancer Just like that Spanish dancer I throw my rose down for him
