The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My mind a-squirrel before the wind
My heart’s a-pounding, “let me in”
And it’s all a-happening in a glint
Of ballroom blue
It’s just me and you
We are the dance and its disappearance
In the air a taste of mint
And night’s been coming ever since
The sun’s been giving off its dark hints
In orangey glows
And Sudbury yellows
We are the dance and its disappearance
In the distance, a howling wolf
But in the darkness there’s a tinge
The slightest streak of blood-orange
Like a drop of blood to the rusty door hinge
Our beautiful due
It’s still me and you
We are the dance and its disappearance
Our beautiful due
I’ve been thinking about you
We are the dance and its disappearance
We are the dance and its disappearance
Another howl, further off
