ROSA'S CANTINA- Kaverleys
Ken sent me the melody, I wrote the lyrics; and this piece is a collab in its best essence. Ken played the instruments, and we sang the piece together! Wonderful melody! I couldn't get it off my head when I heard it.
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.

Rosa’s Cantina
© Music – Kavye Lee; Lyrics – Stan Loh November 20, 2010
Intro
Rosa’s cantina,
It’s where everyone knows …
Jealousy and hate,
Once in a while they will blow …
Verse 1
I can see those daggers coming from your eyes,
You’re the author of those terrible lies,
Baseless and absurd,
Faceless are the words,
They hang on me like Satan’s big curse.
Verse 2
My mistake was showing you the wedding ring,
Was the clue that jealousy’s in my drink,
Fast lips, fleeting trick,
Judge’s rhetoric,
In Rosa’s joint the truth does not stick,
Cantina’s walls are lonesome and thick.
Bridge
They call it cantina consequence,
When you enter Rosa’s lair,
Be prepared for the subsequent,
Poison in the hateful air,
Many lovers have gone in there,
To chase the thrills of grand romance,
Its sudden rise tempers advance,
In cantina consequence it’s dicey at best.
Instrumental
Verse 3
I can see those daggers coming from your eyes,
You’re the author of those terrible lies,
Baseless and absurd,
Faceless are the words,
They hang on me like Satan’s big curse,
They hang on me like Satan’s big curse.
Outro
Rosa’s cantina,
It’s where everyone knows …
Jealousy and hate,
Once in a while they will blow …
