Matador - Nadine Shah

You and your warrior’s spirit

A silent look commands you hear it

You wear it well

So all can tell

And no one comes

Even near it

Demanding all ears and eyes and hearts

As if you were born to play the part

Gentle and kind

You need not remind

You had us hooked from the start

A change of pace when night draws in

It seems this is just the way with him

It is hard to show

Who’d ever know

What hooded eyes hold within

A matador pacing around me

Flashing red where you don’t expect to see

I am yours to take

Be my playmate

And let your covers wash all over me
