Lyrics
[verse]
There's a little club below the border line
Where the candles drip like honey and the tequila's fine
A woman moves behind a curtain made of beads
Every eye is watchin' every step she leads
[chorus]
Down where the trumpet cries
Down where the smoke and shadows rise
Down in that little town below the line
That's where I lost this heart of mine
[verse]
She's got a rose behind her ear, a fire in her eyes
Castanets are clickin' underneath the purple skies
The whole room's swayin' to a rhythm slow and low
Nobody wants to see that dancer go
[chorus]
Down where the trumpet cries
Down where the smoke and shadows rise
Down in that little town below the line
That's where I lost this heart of mine
[bridge]
Guitars are weepin' soft and sweet
Dust and moonlight on the street
I'd cross that border every night
Just to catch her in that candlelight
[chorus]
Down where the trumpet cries
Down where the smoke and shadows rise
Down in that little town below the line
That's where I lost this heart of mine
