Judie Tzuke - Dog Rose lyrics

When I step Conchita Always senorita Lived your life for dancing, now your legs have gone Looking out your doorway Toothless in the sunshine Just a little magic will make you dance again When you hear flamenco Does it make your heart fire? Can you feel a rhythm rushing through your veins? Somewhere where a voice screams Shaking up your soft dreams What is there to live for now your legs have gone? Pick yourself a dog rose Put it in your grey hair Fine a lonely courtyard and dance the sun away You won't need to hear them Clapping out the time there There's no need for time now that your legs have gone Look out at the children They can feel the rhythm They won't make you feel bad now your legs have gone They don't see you dancing When you were a young girl They can't see the soldiers dying for your love And how will you tell them That your love was dancing? They could never see that now your legs have gone There was no more beauty Than when you were dancing Rigid in the moonlight with thunder in your hands Just another woman Peering through the sunlight Hands and ankles swollen, waiting for her time Standing black and dusty Feeling for her raven hair For her coloured garments now her legs have gone Your dance is past in the time with your beauty No chance to live in the sky And now you're fading fast in the heather Nothing to live but to die
