Shadows dance the night away
You ask me if I'm here to stay
Following the beat is tough;
The music isn't loud enough
Golden eyes that pierce the veil
In search of love, not fairy tale
Whispers in a cloud of smoke
I cannot breathe; I gasp, I choke
Forget me not, can't forget
Stuck in an endless pirrouette
Bodies close, our breathing, slow
The best (and worst) intentions show
Letting go of all things past
Not the First, but will be the Last
Won't deny this thing I've found--
someone to keep me safe and sound
I ask if you're here to stay
As shadows dance the night away.

Shadows dance the night away
You ask me if I'm here to stay
Following the beat is tough;
The music isn't loud enough
Golden eyes that pierce the veil
In search of love, not fairy tale
Whispers in a cloud of smoke
I cannot breathe; I gasp, I choke
Forget me not, can't forget
Stuck in an endless pirrouette
Bodies close, our breathing, slow
The best (and worst) intentions show
Letting go of all things past
Not the First, but will be the Last
Won't deny this thing I've found--
someone to keep me safe and sound
I ask if you're here to stay
As shadows dance the night away.
