Artist: Poe Album: Haunted (2001) Title: Spanish Doll
Lyrics Spanish DollThis place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here
You left me tattered and torn
Just like that sweet Spanish doll
(Sweet Spanish sweet Spanish... doll)
I went down to the alley way
(Sierra la Bonita)
And found that you were gone
[Spanish doll]: si nunca te fueras (if you never left)
You left no word no message
I still don't know exactly what went wrong
[Spanish doll]: lagrima (tear)
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
[Spanish doll]: buscame (look for me me)
To where you left me tattered and torn
[Spanish doll]: estoy rompida mi muneca (I am broken my sweet doll)
Just like that sweet Spanish doll
(Sweet, Spanish, sweet Spanish doll)
A memory guilded in red and gold
[Spanish doll]: de oro (of gold)
Beauty guarded and never sold
[Spanish doll]: cuidame (protect me)
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
[Spanish doll]: recuerdame (remember me)
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
[Spanish doll]: esta conmigo (it is with me)
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
Spanish doll
A stranger in this world without you
Is all that I can ever be
All I know that's pure and clear
You left it with me here
In this souvenir
Spanish... Spanish... Spanish...
[Father]:
We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight -
(sweet Spanish, sweet)
Unaware yet how her life will be affected by this experience.
(sweet Spanish, sweet)
[Daughter]:
Mommy how come you cry?
[Father]:
While what was really happening in the years of her childhood...
(sweet Spanish, sweet)
Perhaps that's where the real story is - in her family house.
[Daughter]:
How come it's a house of leaves?
(sweet Spanish, sweet Spanish)
[Daughter]:
How come it is a house of leaves? |
