But Tonight We Dance

Breathe deep and easy Swallow this pride Stare at my shaking hands through bone dry, bloodshot eyes Clock strip the hours I count the miles Will you be there waiting Awake until sunrise? I've traveled in darkness For what seems like days, I Crawl 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 spans forever Or a dawn that never comes? I've traveled in darkness For what seems like days, I Crawl 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 (tonight...) Tomorrow we might wake in servitude and sadness 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 And for this I've traveled in darkness For what seems like days, I Crawl 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
