Spanish Doll Songtext
von Poe

This 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 alleyway
(Sierra la bonita)
And found that you were gone
(Si nunca te fueras)
You left no word, no message
I still don′t know exactly what went wrong
(Lagrima)


Now, no matter where I go
I always seem to return
(Buscame)
To where you left me tattered and torn
(Estoy rompido mi muñeca)
Just like that sweet Spanish doll
(Sweet Spanish, sweet Spanish doll)

A memory gilded in red and gold
(De oro)
Beauty guarded and never sold
(Cuidame)
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
(Recuerdame)

No matter how a story will unfold
Know I always will
(Esta conmigo)
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, Spanish
Doll


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, sweet)
Mommy, why how come you cry?
(Spanish doll)
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
How come it's a house of leaves?
(Sweet Spanish, sweet Spanish)
How come it's a house of leaves?
(Cuidame)
