Torn, Twisted, Love’s Blind She Whispered

Spanish, Spanish dancer

Just by chance, bring romance her way


Cuban heels, belt studded with steel

Just a dancer, bring a chance her way


She packed her case in isolation

Insincere, her lines of desertion

Her package of devastation


It could have been the castanets

It could have been the Sangria


Cuban heels, he’d made her feel

Her troubadour of real surreal steal


She wiped a tear

Folded her cotton handkerchief just so

She was torn, though she had to go


It could have been anytime

It just happened to be that summer


Belt of steel

Alive to feel


Whispered silver clouds above her

Blind to recover

For her Andalusian lover
