Down at the Cantina Songtext
von Eric Andersen

Tonight the town is empty
Streets deserted, dark and lonely
Where the lights are worn low
And lovers lying arm in arm
Well, down at the canteen
A gypsy barmaid′s dreaming
Busy checking out her fortunes
Checking out her bracelets and her charm
And her charm

Friends look at me and worry
Sometimes I get discouraged
My feelings get so blurry
I get so withdrawn inside
There's times you feel I scare you
Other times I can′t show my care for you
Other times I get scared too
'Cause I try too hard, I'm a little too shy
Like a little boy when you look into my eyes


You′ve got other lovers
You know, so do I
I won′t say my arms
Are the answer to your life
Somehow, this time, it feels so right
And if yours are really empty now
Mine are empty too
So baby, come with me
Stay in mine tonight

I'm not asking you to trust me
Judge me or protect me
Place yourself above me or get heavy
Or criticize my life
Love is like electric wires
As memories run mixed up with desires
As changes feel like ice and fire
Sometimes I think they make us both
Get so jammed up inside

You′ve got other lovers
You know, so do I
I won't say my arms
Are the answer to your life
Somehow, this time, it feels so right
And if yours are feeling empty now
Mine are empty too
Baby, come with me
Stay in mine tonight


You′ve got other lovers
You know, so do I
I won't say my arms
Are the answer to your life
Somehow, this time, it feels so right
And if yours are feeling empty now
Mine are empty too
Then baby, come with me
Stay in mine tonight

Thank you
