This place feels so unfamiliar
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
Si nunca te fueras
You left no word no message
I still don't know exactly what went wrong
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
To where you left me tattered and torn
Just like that sweet spanish doll
Sweet spanish,sweet spanish doll
A memory guilded in red and gold
Beauty guarded and never sold
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still(Recuerdame)
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will(Esta conmigo)
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, spanish, spanish...

We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight
Sweet spanish,sweet
unaware yet how her life will be affected by this experience.
Sweet
Mommy how come you cry?
While what was really happening in the years of her childhood...
Sweet spanish,sweet
Perhaps that's where the real story is - in her family house
Why is it a house of leaves?
Sweet spanish,sweet spanish
Why is it a house of leaves?
