about

this song was originally improvised live onstage while at the Boubou's Festival in St Barths in 2000...

lyrics

She came from southern Spain,
she told me her name,
but I just stood and stared;
She dealt out all the cards,
traded all her spades for Hearts,
but I, I couldn’t have cared…

She’s the one I’ve always dreamt of,
she’s the one I couldn’t have,
she’s the crime I never committed…

She came from southern Spain
and I fell into her game-
a pawn on a board I couldn’t see…
She played me as a king,
I dreamt of her as Queen,
But what a fool,
what a fool I turned out to be…

She’s the one I always dreamt of,
she’s the one I couldn’t have,
she’s the crime I never committed…
She’s the one I always dreamt of,
she’s the one I couldn’t have,
she’s the crime I never committed…

She could tear up all the cards,
she could burn up all the boards,
but I wouldn’t have cared…

She’s the one I always dreamt of,
she’s the one I always…
She’s the one I always dreamt of,
she’s the one I couldn’t have,
she’s the crime I never committed…
