Annie Decatur Danielewski (born March 23, 1968), professionally known as Poe, is a American singer and songwriter. She first hit the modern rock charts in the mid-1990s. Poe is the daughter of Polish film director Tad Danielewski and his wife, Priscilla Machold. She is also the sister of author Mark Z. Danielewski. Poe's musical style is an unusual blend of folk, rock, and electronica elements backing intimate lyrical compositions. Poe is known to have a dating relationship with prized painter, Peter Max, a relationship some say may have been set-up by her management for publicity. Wikipedia

Poe - Spanish Doll

This place feels so unfamiliar And yet I know it well I think I used to belong here But the only way I can tell Is that I miss you still And I cannot find you here You left me tattered and torn Just like that Spanish doll
(Sweet spanish sweet spanish... doll)
I went down to the alley way (Sierra la Bonita) And found that you were gone si nunca te fueras (if you never left) You left no word no message I still don't know exactly what went wrong lagrima (tear) But now no matter where I go I always seem to return buscame (look for me me) To where you left me tattered and torn estoy rompida mi muneca (I am broken my sweet doll)
Just like that sweet spanish doll
(Sweet spanish sweet spanish...doll)
A memory guilded in red and gold de oro (of gold) Beauty guarded and never sold cuidame (protect me) I keep it with me wherever I go And I love you still recuerdame (remember me) No matter how a story will unfold You know I always will esta conmigo (it is with me) Have part of you here In this souvenir This sweet spanish doll
A stranger in this world without you Is all that I can ever be All I know that's pure and clear You left it with me here In this souvenir This sweet spanish doll
Father: We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight,unaware yet how her life will be affected by this experience.
I love Poe!!!!
