Spanish Rose

The wine beneath the bed

The things we'd done and said

And all the memories that come glancing back to me

In my loneliness

You're standing in the breach

Beyond that stretch but out of reach

And consciousness has found me sometimes wondering

Where you're at

Mm, take me back again

Take me back one more time

Spanish Rose

The way you pulled the gate

Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late

Come on, let's swing the town and have a

Ball tonight"

And hopin' you'd come through

And many others, too

And all the friends we used to have in days gone by

I'm wondering

If you'll take me back again

Take me back one more time

Spanish Rose

And when the lights went out

Then no one was about

And all the country in full bloom

In the room we danced

And many hearts were torn

And when the word went round

That everything was wrong

And just couldn't be put back it

Tore me up, it tore me up, Lord

Slumber, you did sleep

The window I did creep

And touch your raven hair and sang that song

Again to you

You did not even wince

You thought I was the prince

To come and take you from your misery

And lonely castle wall

Ah, take me back again

Take me back one more time

Spanish Rose

Ah, ah

Ah, ah

Ah, ah
