Ry Cooder - Filipino Dance Hall Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the evening shadows fall I'm dreaming
Of a certain smile, a secret rendezvous
And when the day is past and gone I'll come creeping
Down the dark end of the street again to you

In a dimly lit café as we go dancing
I try to smile and hide a love that's true
Then they play a lovely tune as we're romancing
And I can't pretend no matter what I do

[Chorus]
Dark and different, so they tell me
It's forbidden, so they say
But l just tell them we're so happy
She's my Filipino dance hall girl

[Verse 2]
Good friends have all withdrawn their salutations
Good neighbors pause when I come down the street
Preacher has a look of scorn on Sunday morning
And there's a frown on every face I see

Que sera sera the Bible tells me
Novus Ordo Seclorum so they say
But I just tell them, "Adios muchachos"
She's my Filipino dance hall girl
[Chorus]
Then she whispers while we're dancing
In a language soft and low
I just tell her darling I love you
You're my Filipino dance hall girl
