Shadow Dance
I hold out my hand, feel only the air
When I look in your eyes I see only a stare
And the music it calls, but you won't reply
I stare at my feet too scared to ask why
We waltz round the truth kick the dust on the floor
And the beat of my heart, now as before
Like the light through the smoke I haven't a chance
As the space in between calls this shadow dance
Shadow dance shadow dance
go round and round this happenstance
And we dance and we dance and we think much too much
But we never touch, no we never touch
Your heart is says yes, your lips disagree
My words become weights, a wish turns to a plea
And though I know better I'm feeling much worse
Each step taken alone turns this love to a curse
Shadow dance shadow dance
go round and round this happenstance
And we dance and we dance and we think much too much
But we never touch, no we never touch
There's safety in silence securely inside
This chance you won't take, this dance you deny
And there's safety in numbers when the number is one
So our dancing's over before it begun
Shadow dance shadow dance
go round and round this happenstance
And we dance and we dance and we think much too much
But we never touch, no we never touch
