The Dance

Intro Verse Morning comes a-calling, knocking at the door It slipped up on two lovers, it's found them on the floor Sunlight spills a shadow, shading every glance It's hard to tell the dancers from the dance Verse Footsteps ring so hollow as he tries to lead Once she used to follow, now they tip-toe lead Going through the motions, in a lover's trance It's hard to tell the dancers from the dance Chorus Now he's dancing alone down the stairs Pretending not to care The ballet is empty of romance It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance Instrumental Verse They're so close together, they're so far apart They've memorised their lines, but never understood their part He says, "You'll never live alone, she says, "I'll take the chance" It's hard to tell the dancers from the dance Chorus Now she's dancing alone, come the morning Waiting for the dawn The ballet is empty of romance It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance Outro
