—AGAIN —
Each time I wan-der to see you a-gain
Loo-king for love and in search of a friend,
Just when I think that my jour-ney will end I see you here
all a-long and shy-ly
I lean in my ear to your chin
soft-ly you mum-ble and long bur-ied sins tum-ble out of your ru-by lips seek-ing a way to be-gin you sigh
at last
I hear
ah
your song
A-lone in the dark-ness a-way from the crowd
box-ing with sha-dows and pray-ng a-loud
twice in the eve-ning for luck in the night
I sing your name
once a-gain
when fi-na-lly fac-ing my fear of the flight
slug-ging and swing-ing and fling-ing the ghosts of the ra-ve-nous hounds nip-ping hard at my heals as I beat
re-treat
your feet
re-peat ah dan-cing dan-cing dan-cing dan-cing dan-cing on the de-mons in the night. Dan-cing Dan-cing Dan-cing Dan-cing
Yea yea, Yea yea, Yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
Dan-cing Dan-cing Dan-cing Dan-cing Dan-cing dan-cing
dan-cing with the de-mons in the night
Dan-cing thru the dark-ness to the gates of light
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
light la la la la la la la la la la la la la la light
Af-ter we’re gone and our flesh turns to loam
un-der the spread-ing roots deep in the glen
wa-ter di-sol-ving our par-ti-cles swift-ly swept a-way
and then
to-ge-ther our crimes washed a-way in the dawn
un-der the mor-ning star lost in the me-mo-ries flow-ing in cur-rents that glow in the kiss of the Sun
we lift
our eyes
to sing
ah a-long
at last and
Yea yea, Yea yea, Yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
Dan-cing
Dan-cing
Dan-cing
Dan-cing
Dan-cing dan-cing dan-cing with the de-mons in the night
Dan-cing thru the dark-ness to the gates of light
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la light
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la light
la la la la la la light la la la la la la light
la la light la la light
Dan-cing to the gates of light
la la la la la la la la la
