THE DANCE - Crowes Pasture
© A. Rogovin & M. Byrne
So, you wanna know
About the cards that I won’t show
Well take a step, back from the line
I know you think that we got time
But I, can’t let it go
I think it’s time for you to know, though you
Need me now, like I needed you
When you took my heart and you broke it into pieces as you danced, and looked my way
I turned my head, and walked away
And now you want a second chance
To play a part inside a cheap romance
To start again, like nothing broke
Before the fall, like when we woke up
To the sunrise, on the square
And time was stopped, and breath was air, and I
Looked at you, like you looked at me
There was nothing else, anyone could see, and we danced, through night and day
You promised me, we’d always stay that way
Yeah now, you wanna know
About the cards that I won’t show
Well take a look, at where we’ve been
You think that I should let you in
But I, can’t let it go
I think it’s time for you to know, though you
Need me now, like I needed you
When you took my heart and you broke it into pieces as you danced, and looked my way
I turned my head, and walked away
Once I
Looked at you, like you looked at me
There was nothing else anyone could see, and we danced through night and day
You promised me, we’d always stay that way
