Dance In The Darkness

I saw the curtain move

I saw the hand that pulled the shade

And in a moment the lights went out

And a radio began to play

And i crossed the empty street

With the window in my view

But i couldn't see through

To watch them dance in the darkness

Then round the corner

Came this old man's shuffling feet

And i bummed him for a cigarette

And he hands the whole damn pack to me

And he said, "ive watched you for the last six nights

And brother why do you want to bleed?

I guess you just can't shake the need

To watch them dance in the darkness"

Up there an angel's falling

Up there can't you hear him calling out her name

Can you feel them touch?

Can you hear them breathe?

Up there time ain't moving

Up there no one's losing any sleep

For fools like us, two fools like us

Down here on the street

I said, "wait a minute mister

Man, you just don't understand

She was everything i ever wanted"

And the old man he just held out his hand

And said, "welcome to the one place

No one ever wants to be

Where even in your dreams

You watch them dance in the darkness"

Up there an angel's falling

Up there can't you hear them calling out her name

Can you feel them touch

Can you hear them breathe

Up there time ain't moving

Up there no one's losing any sleep

For fools like us, to fools like us

Down here on the street
