I want to dance with you again, Before the light descends; Dance, the troubadour sang:      Dance me to the end of love. Place yours in mine, We'll wind with time; Repose your head, close your eyes, I'll hear you breathe another goodbye. Can't you dance with me again. I'm spinning off this elliptic world; Holding the dark side of my moon, Orbiting 'round this star lit room. Waxing on the upbeat, Waning on the down, Dancing on a gyroscope, Through phases round and round. I awaken, tapping toes, And humming in the after glow. Yes, I danced with you! Did I dance with you? I didn't dance with you. And never will again.

Dancing the Night Away
I want to dance with you again, Before the light descends; Dance, the troubadour sang:      Dance me to the end of love. Place yours in mine, We'll wind with time; Repose your head, close your eyes, I'll hear you breathe another goodbye. Can't you dance with me again. I'm spinning off this elliptic world; Holding the dark side of my moon, Orbiting 'round this star lit room. Waxing on the upbeat, Waning on the down, Dancing on a gyroscope, Through phases round and round. I awaken, tapping toes, And humming in the after glow. Yes, I danced with you! Did I dance with you? I didn't dance with you. And never will again.
