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
(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
Exactly 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
Spanish doll: Requerda me (remember me)
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
Spanish doll: Estampa (?) Me (?) Me)
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
(Spanish doll)
[No "This sweet"]
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

MAN:
And here is father and lovely daughter, shot down in her
mistaken flight...
(Sweet Spanish...Sweet)
MAN:
....unaware yet how her life will be
affected by this...experience.
[There's something else over "experience", but not sure what.]
(Sweet...Sweet...)
GIRL:
Mommy, how come you cry?
MAN:
While what was really happened was in the years of her childhood...
(Sweet Spanish...SweetYou look up to yout Jesus,
he seems so far away
Your whole world is changing from coloured into grey
It's sad how you come crawling out of this romance
But aside of your Jesus
I just couldn't stand a chance
No chance!
No way!
Oh, but i surely miss it sometimes
(sometimes I miss it, oh).
As now I walk the crookes lines
(I like to walk the crooked lines)
I found it to hard to discover
They were over
(They are over)
The times when I was invisible
My coat of dreams is torn,
the shreds are crumbling in my hands
All birds have spread their wings to sail the foreign lands
wisdom does prevail
when wisdom is allowed
To think about a fight and dare to risk it,
is better then to fight a thought that is right, but risky
Oh, but i surely miss it sometimes
(sometimes I miss it, oh).
As now I walk the crookes lines
(I like to walk the crooked lines)
I found it do hard to discover
They were over
(They are over)
The times when I was invisible.
I found myself a new love
And I feel so good these days
When I look back I can spot that old companion in the haze
He never cared to look at me
He never dared to see
How he turned and danced and stirred
how he died for me
Just to please me
to keep me
Oh, but i surely miss it sometimes
(sometimes I miss it, oh).
As now I walk the crookes lines
(I like to walk the crooked lines)
I found it do hard to discover
They were over
(They are over)
The times when I was invisible
