Lyrics

My Love met me on Dancing Ledge
Along the cliffs and sands
He said 'let's dance the whole night long
My one night on the land
All too soon our time will pass
Dancing ghosts we'll be'
A ring he slipped onto my finger saying
'Marry Me'
Time stood still
With Love in the air
My heart it must have taken flight with the sea birds
Circling there
I know life is short and everything is
Temporary
But this ring circling my finger
Says he's staying with me
His shoulder was my pillow
Our feet were light as air
Our hearts kept time together
As we danced the whole night there
We might as well dance
We might as well sing
We might as well live
For the time being
We might as well dance
We might as well sing
We might as well love
For the time being
We danced all night
By the pounding waves
By the moonlight
In the salty spray
Come what might, Come what may
We danced all night and into the day
At the breaking of the dawn
The spell was broken too
He looked into my eyes and said
'My Love I'll dream of you
A sailor must to sea'
He kissed me tenderly
From the port in the morning light
He sailed away from me
Did I dream you My Love?
Did I dream you?
Only the sky above
And the sea knew
Nothing borrowed, nothing blue
Nothing old, nothing new
Just this ring circling my finger
Tying me to you
I'll return to Dancing Ledge
Where else am I to go?
The waves are pounding
And the spray jumps up
My Love where did you go?
I see us in the mist
Dancing on Air
A Sailors wife, there's a life
Of longing and despair
I dance before the sea
I sing for the sky above
My heart cries out My Love
I have to be free Darling
Forgive me
I'm taking this ring from my finger
And slipping it back
Into the sea
