CAN YOU DANCE THE TANGO?
CAN YOU DANCE THE TANGO
Before I am Silence.,
Before I am stone.
Can you dance the tango.
Can you hold me close
Show me the way
As I used to glide across the room
So easily.
Can you make me feel
The harmony of motion
The grace that once was mine.
Can you make me move again in ecstasy
Fire in my veins.
Can you just for a moment
Take away the pain..
It has been a while
I’ve danced the tango.
I’m slowly and steadily
You see
Turning to stone.
But
I want to dance the tango
Just one more time.
Can you make me feel
Again
The ecstasy of motion.
The grace that once was mine
Before I am finished
Before it is done with me
Before the end
OF music in my heart
Of fire in my soul.
Before I step out of the light alone.
Before I am Silence.,
Before I am stone.
