Dance Into The Light lyrics

It's there in the eyes of the children
In the faces smiling in the windows
You can come on out, come on open the doors
Brush away the tears of freedom

Now we're here, there's no turning back
We have each other
We have one voice

Hand in hand we will lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home

Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light

Come gather 'round people wherever you roam,
and admit that the waters around you have grown,
and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
if your time to you is worth savin'
then you better start swimmin'
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen
and keep your eyes wide,
the chance won't come again,

Well it's a long, long road when you're out there alone,
no matter what side you're on,
but there's a heart of gold behind the smile
and it brought me to where I belong.

'Cos I'd set my sights on finding you
and I'm staying forever, you know it's true
Yes I'd set my sights on finding you
don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright

No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,

If we can cross at the place that divides us.
cross the river, the river so wide,
if we can smother the pain that's inside us,
deny the demons that wait bu our side,
we can find, find the light

Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
we share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
that don't matter, can't you see what we are,

When the daylight comes and I look across the room,
I see you're gone.
As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand
I can see, see I'm the only one.
Well, your clothes are gone and your bags are packed
but the bed's still warm where you lay
now I need your love to come shining through
to carry me, come carry me away.

If you choose a time, I'll catch the moon
I'll see you there

Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
but this body before you has seen too much pain.

Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.

It's at this time we feel the emotion,

You oughta know by now
that a man can't hold on forever,
so why do you keep waiting here
when you know it makes me want you more

You oughta know by now
how it fells to be loved,
so why d'you keep me hanging here,
with this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down

when all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.

You oughta know by now

It's in your eyes,
the love you hide away.
You can't disguise
the things you feel, the thing you say

If you just call my name
any time at all, I'll be there.

I don't know why,
the way you're falling away from me.
I can't describe
it's how it feels, it's what I see.

If you just call my name
anytime at all,
anytime at all,
anytime at all, I'll be there.

I look around, all I see is you

She came looking for me with her arms open wide,
like some long lost friend of mine.

She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me '
I said 'No, I don't believe I do'
So she looked me up and down
and undressed me with her eyes,
then she said 'You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want'

So I said 'OK,

you can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt

Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
trying to find somehow to get away.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.

Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head

Father comes home 'cos his money's run out -
seems a little loose tonight, he starts to shout.

Dinner's not on the table, seems mother's not able,
she's staring at the TV.

You can smell it on his breath, feel it in his touch,
he never meant to hit her hard, but he's like that when he's had too much.

It's just another story 'bout going too far,
it's just another story 'bout going too far.

Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.

Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,

I remember the night you weren't at home
(had to work late is what I heard)
That's what you said
I can never forget the way it felt,
you needed some time to work it out,
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.

'Cos late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I've seen those other guys
sniffin' around your door.

Whatever happened to the words
'Lovers for all eternity'
