Lyrics

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 te fueras (if you would never leave)
You left no word no message
I still don't know
Exactly what went wrong
Spanish doll: lágrimas (tears)
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
Spanish doll: búscame (find me)
To where you left me tattered and torn
Spanish doll: yo estoy rompido mi muñeca (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)
Beauty guarded and never sold
Spanish doll: cuídame (protect me)
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
Spanish doll: recuérdame (remember me)
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
Spanish doll: rescátame (rescue me)
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
(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
Spanish... [fading]
Spanish..
Spanish..
...Doll

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

(Sweet...sweet...)

Girl:
Mommy, how come you cry?

Man:
While what was really happened was in the years of her childhood..

(Sweet spanish...sweet)

Man:
Perhaps that is where the real story is: in her family house

Girl:
How come it's a house of leaves?

(Sweet spanish...sweet spanish)

Girl:
How come it's a house of leaves?

Spanish doll: recuérdame

(Applause)
