Spanish Dancer Lyrics - Old Yellow Moon - 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 

I throw my rose down for him 

Across these beds of darkness 

He opens his arms and gathers them in 

Just like that Spanish dancer I 

Just like that Spanish dancer I 

Just like that Spanish dancer I 

Just like that Spanish dancer I 

Just like that Spanish dancer I 

Just like that Spanish dancer I
