lyrics

This rose of love
This rose from Spain
This flood of tears
For a heart in pain
I'll never know
This dark rose of love

This captive dove
These angel wings
The song of sorrow
This gypsy sings
I'll never know
This dark dove of love

This moon of tears
This moon of love
This moon of death
Called down from above
I'll never know
This dark moon of love

My vision blurs
With love's alarms
He comes to me
Though others' arms
I'll never know
This dark man of love

This nocturne of death
In which we sleep
This dance of lost souls
Which makes dreams weep
I'll never know
This dark song of love

This Spanish heart
These Spanish eyes
This dagger of truth
That cuts through our lies
I'll never know
This dark heart of love

This blade of romance
Sunk deep in my breast
These rhythms of pain
I feel so blessed
But I'll never know
This dark blade of love

These pools of blood
The rivers run
A night so cold
His poem is done
I'll never know
This dark soul of love
