Lyrics
?Matador?
Sitting in the cafe
the wind cold the sky grey
the look in your eyes non-challant
Was it only last night
in the glow of the firelight
Our shadows danced on the wall
And though my heart is slowly breaking
still it will be forever be yours, Matador
Chorus
I am the one that you need
and the one that you fear
So you brush me aside
once you?ve beckoned me near
Always knowing every go round
leaves me wanting your more
Oh, Matador
Words that inspire
love and desire
I feel you pulling me in
Oh but your heart is
an elusive target
and I miss the mark once again
And though my heart is slowly fading
my love will forever endure, Matador
Chorus
In this I know there?s no winning
but my heart cannot lie still
So endlessly it will go spinning
and live and die for the thrill, Matador
Chorus
