Spanish Doll - 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 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 tes fueres (if you had never left)

You left no word no message

I still don’t know what went wrong

Spanish doll: la grima (tears)

But now no matter where I go

I always seem to return

Spanish doll: busca me (find me)

To where you left me tattered and torn

Spanish doll: you so rompido mi muneca (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 also pain)

Beauty guarded and never sold

Spanish doll: cuida me (protect me)

I keep it with me wherever I go And I love you still

No matter how a story will unfold

Spanish doll: requerda me (remember me)

You know I always will

Have part of you here

In this souvenir

This sweet 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

This sweet spanish doll

Father:

We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken[ flight, unaware yet

how her life will be affected by this experience.

Daughter:

Why is it a house of leaves?
