Joe Ely - Behind The Bamboo Shade Lyrics
In a border town when the lights go downAnd the Ranchero Radio playsYou wont find me around in the lights of the townI'll be out where the day meets the shadeI only came for a holiday to sit in the Mexican windI only came for the whiskey, but suddenly she walked inShe wore a dress made of lace,And the light on her faceI felt the room start to shakeIt shook a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade...I only came for the sun but I wound up with the moon and the starsWhen her eyes met mine, the room filled with Spanish guitarsThe kerosene in my bloodCame on like a floodAs I stood to take her awayTo a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade...On a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo ShadeWith the skeletons dancing on the eve of the Day of the DeadI reached out in the dark,Put my hand on her heart,While the bows of the palm trees swayedOn a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo ShadeI woke up in a sweat, my legs feeling too weak to standThere's a pain in my back and not a bit of grip in my handsA flash of steel in the nightLeft me no time to writeAn epitaph to leave on my graveThe church bells rang on a Love Seat Behind the Bamboo ShadeOn a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo ShadeWith the skeletons dancing on the eve of the Day of the DeadIf you see JuanTell him I can't comeI've got a previous engagement I've made.I'm On a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade...
