Slow Dance
The stage is quiet The dawn has come The night before finally gone The notes begun
The spotlights shone We bow, we dancers We who face each other proudly Gladly, lovingly
We bow in respect for the time put in The rehearsals over We bow for the end.
Taking positions, finally We hold each other lightly Smiling tightly, We begin our slow dance At last, at last we dance.
We dance across the ceiling Breaking through the walls We dance across the sky, Reach the sun and more,
Dancing and being Achieving nothing Swirling and whirling in circles Round and round the stars
My lover and I, We dance for our clarity Our saviour and sanity Our complicated footwork Mapping our survival or destruction Fuck it – confusion. Round and round we go, The music slows We dance our slow dance We dance our last chance.
