INTO MY ARMS
(Cantina)

A summer night, a small cantina
The music plays, a Seniorita
Stands alone, her eyes are closed
She starts to sway, the music grows
She lives her skirt and moves her bare feet
She steps so light that no one dares speak
She casts a spell
That says come dance with me

Her story goes he left her here
The Battle Hymns were in his ears
He waved to her and rode away
She waits for him until this day
She cried for years and grew so thin
It killed her slow, this wait for him
And now she says
Wona€™t someone dance with me

Into my arms
Into my life
Into my heart
Just for tonight
Into me soft
Into me slow
Into my memories but then
You must go

She calls him but he cannot hear
Shea€™ll squeeze you so tight
To fight back tears
Hea€™s still near

A summer night, a small cantina
The music plays, a Seniorita
Casts a spell
That says come dance with me

She calls him but he cannot hear
Shea€™ll squeeze you so tight
To fight back tears
Hea€™s still near

A summer night, a small cantina
The music plays, a Seniorita
Stands alone, her eyes are closed
She starts to sway, the music grows
She lives her skirt and moves her bare feet
She steps so light that no one dares speak
She casts a spell
That says come dance with me
