Spanish Dancer - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)/Rodney Crowell

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
