Spanish Rose (Re-Recorded) - Van Morrison

The wine beneath the bed

The things we've done and said

And all the mem'ries

That come glancing back to me

In my loneliness

You're standing in the bridge

Beyond that stretch but our love reach

An consciousness has found me sometimes wondering

Where you're at

Umm, take me back again

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose

The way ya 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

Yeah, 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 there

No one was about

An all the country in full bloom

In the room we danced

And many hearts were torn

And when the word went 'round

That ev'rything was wrong

And just couldn't be put right, it

Tore me up, it tore me up, Lord

The way you held a note

The trembling in your throat

That just beginning of your

Wondrous smile

The rising of the water

The winter winds of days gone by

I often ask myself and wonder why

It's gone

Uhm, take me back again

Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose

In 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

Uhm, take me back again

A take me back one more time, Spanish Rose
