Dreamer's Dance
(Joyce McDill and Freda Leask 2001)
I have to admit I’m afraid of your silence
The language of strangers comes hard from your lips
You once spoke my name and made it sound tender
But now we exchange polite words
So let’s take the floor and pretend once more
Let’s show the world what they’re looking for
Let’s dance the slow waltz and get each step in time
I’ll say I wasn’t yours, you say you weren’t mine
You know I’m aware of your silent refusal
To take even the risk of words that are real
You might just betray your conscience or mine
So now we exchange polite words
So let’s take the floor and pretend once more
Let’s show the world what they’re looking for
Let’s dance the slow waltz and get each step in time
I’ll say I wasn’t yours, you say you weren’t mine
But sometimes in the night
You shake me with dreams
I can’t catch what you say
Or hold onto your voice
I’m caught unawares
And I’m lost for reply
Then you’re gone in the dark
And I’m left as before..
So let’s take the floor and pretend once more
Let’s show the world what they’re looking for
Let’s dance the slow waltz and get each step in time
I’ll say I wasn’t yours, you say you weren’t mine
