Van Morrison
Spanish Rose
[Verse 1]
The wine beneath the bed
The things we've done and said
And all the memories that come glancing back to me
In my loneliness
Standing in the breach
The arms outstretched but out of reach
And consciousness has found me sometimes wondering
Where you're at

[Chorus]
Mmm, take me back again
Take me back one more time
Spanish rose

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
If you'll take me back again
Take me back one more time
Spanish rose
[Bridge]
And when the lights went out
And no one was about
Another the country in full bloom
In the room we danced
And many hearts were torn
And when the word went around
That everything was wrong
And just couldn't be put right
It tore me up, it tore me up, Lord

[Verse 3]
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
In lonely castle wall

[Chorus]
Um, take me back again
Take me back one more time
Spanish rose
[Outro]
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Um, mmm
