Breathe deep and easy
Swallow this pride.
Stare at my shaking hands
through bone dry, blood shot eyes.
Clock strip the hours,
' count the miles.
Will you be there waiting,
awake until sunrise.
Ive traveled in darkness,
for what seems like days,
I come from the sinkholes,
collapsed under this weight.
I know not your sorrow,
but I know mine,
So say you'll stay
and dance with me tonight.
In the glow of twilight,
our world is finally calm.
I felt it complete me,
when the stars give way to dawn.
A language universal,
but I speak not its tongue.
Is this a night that spins forever,
or a dawn that never comes.
Ive traveled in darkness,
for what seems like days,
I come from the sinkholes,
collapsed under this weight.
I know not your sorrow,
but I know mine,
So say you'll stay
and dance with me tonight.
Tomorrow we might wake
in solitude and silence
I will give you everything
if only you would have me.
Tomorrow we will sweat and toil,
Our hands will quiver caked with soil,
Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance,
But tonight we dance,
But tonight we dance
Ive traveled in darkness,
for what seems like days,
I come from the sinkholes,
collapsed under this weight.
I know not your sorrow,
but I know mine,
So say you'll stay
and dance with me tonight.
