 POE - Spanish doll 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 Spanishsweet Spanish] doll

I went down to the alley way
[Sierra la Bonita]
And found that you were gone
Spanish doll: si nunca tes fueres [if you had never
left]
You left no word no message
I still don't know
EXACTLY what went wrong
Spanish doll: la grima [tears]
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
Spanish doll: busca me [find me]
To where you left me tattered and torn
Spanish doll: you so rompido mi muneca [I am torn
my sweet doll]
Just like that sweet Spanish doll

[Sweet spanishsweet Spanish doll]

A memory guilded in red and gold
Spanish doll: del oro [of gold also pain]
Beauty guarded and never sold
Spanish doll: cuida me [protect me]
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
Spanish doll: requerda me [remember me]
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
Spanish doll: ESTAMPA [?] ME [? ME]
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
[Spanish doll]
[No This sweet]

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
SPANISH
[DOLL]

affected by thisexperience.
[There's something else over experience, but not sure what.]

[SWEETSWEET]

Daughter: Mommy how come you cry?

Father: WHILE WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING IN YEARS
OF HER CHILDHOOD

[SWEET SPANISHSWEET]

Father: PERHAPS THAT'S WHERE THE REAL STORY IS--IN
HER FAMILY HOUSE.

Daughter: HOW COME IT'S A HOUSE OF LEAVES?

[SWEET SPANISHSWEET SPANISH]

Daughter: HOW COME IT'S A HOUSE OF LEAVES?

Spanish doll: REQUERDA ME
