Poe Spanish Doll Lyrics

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 alley way
Spanish doll: Sierra la bonita
And found that you were gone
Spanish doll: si nunca te fueras (if you would never leave)
You left no word no message
I still don't know
Exactly what went wrong
Spanish doll: Lágrimas [tears]
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
Spanish doll: Búscame [find me]
To where you left me tattered and torn
Spanish doll: yo estoy rompido mi muñeca (I am torn
my sweet doll)
Just like that sweet Spanish doll

(Sweet Spanish...Sweet Spanish doll)

A memory guilded in red and gold
Spanish doll: Del oro [of gold]
Beauty guarded and never sold
Spanish doll: Cuídame [protect me]
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
Spanish doll: Recuérdame [remember me]
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
Spanish doll: Rescátame [Rescue 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... [fading]
Spanish...
Spanish...
...Doll

Father:
And here is father and lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight...

(Sweet Spanish...Sweet)

Father:
....unaware yet how her life will be affected by this...experience.

Spanish Doll: Búscame

(Sweet...Sweet...)

Girl:
Mommy, how come you cry?

Father:
While what was really happened was in the years of her childhood...

(Sweet Spanish...Sweet)

Father:
Perhaps that is where the real story is: in her family house.

Girl:
How come it's a house of leaves?

(Sweet Spanish...Sweet Spanish)

Girl:
How come it's a house of leaves?

Spanish doll: Recuérdame

(Applause)
