Behind the bodega on St. Mary’s in old San Antone
I went looking for answers from a woman which whom I was told
That with beautiful colors that shown like a halo above
Could search for my name in the heart of the man that I love
Her name was Jimena in her hair was a pin made of gold
I told her I’d come with a heart that was empty and broke
For I’d foolishly fallen for one with a gold wedding band
And how she’s in his arms but I’m in the palm of his hand
While she’s in his arms, I’m in the palm of his hand
I live in a darkened room and love like a lamb
In this forbidden love, I know how it will end
For she’s in his arms and I’m in the palm of his hand
She talked of the cowboy and his love for the golden-haired girl
As she read through my lines and the smoke of the candle would whirl
She said the demons inside her made a damsel that he’s destined to tame
And that loving my cowboy was barren and only in vain
And as I wiped a tear from my eye I knew I was damned
For she’s in his arms but I’m in the palm of his hand
While she’s in his arms, I’m in the palm of his hand
I live in a darkened room and love like a lamb
In this forbidden love, I know how it will end
For she’s in his arms and I’m in the palm of his hand
While she’s in his arms, I’m in the palm of his hand
I live in a darkened room and love like a lamb
In this forbidden love, I know how it will end
For she’s in his arms but I’m in the palm of his hand
For she’s in his arms but I’m in the palm of his hand
