Spanish Is A Loving Tongue Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

Spanish is a loving tongue 

Soft as music, light as spray 

'twas a boy I learnt it from 

Living down sonora way. 

He didn't look much like a lover 

Yet I say his love words over 

Often when I'm all alone, 

Mi amor, mi corazon. 

Moonlight on the patio, 

Old seãora nodding near. 

Me and juan were talking low 

So the madre couldn't hear. 

How those hours would go a-flying 

And too soon I'd hear him sighing, 

Softly murmuring sweet and low, 

"mi amor, mi corazon."

Haven't seen him since that night, 

He can't cross the line you know. 

Wanted for a gambling fight, 

Well, perhaps it's better so. 

Yet I sometimes sort of miss him 

Since that last sad night I kissed him 

Softly murmuring sweet and low, 

"adios, mi corazon."
