Lyrics
ROSE BOLERO
A prick of the needle
Leaves blood on the thorn.
Just like a fever
A passionate storm.
With eyes of a gypsy
And lips like a rose
My heart goes dancing
Where your wind blows.
And when we dance
We dance the rose bolero.
You are my queen,
I'm your pharaoh,
As we dance
We dance the rose bolero.
When the music stops
And the lights go dark
I long for your touch,
I long for your heart.
I dream alone,
And call out your name,
Then I feel the fire
Of your flamenco flame.
