!Night Dances (final)

Verse 1

Out past the streetlamps

Where the moon hangs low and gold

I caught the rhythm of your shadow on the wall

You turned around then you pulled me from the cold

And every heartbeat learned the pattern of the fall

Pre-Chorus

And the violins are climbing through the dark

Every string a spark

Every note a mark

Chorus

We dance the night dances

Under chandeliers that shatter into light

We spin the night dances

Till the morning swallows up the night

Verse 2

Your hand finds mine like a compass finds the north

The bass keeps rolling underneath our feet so deep

We turn the corners till the floor keeps spilling forth

And every motion wakes a melody asleep

Pre-Chorus

And the cellos rise to carry us along

Every bow a song

Every step belongs

Chorus

We dance the night dances

Under chandeliers that shatter into light

We spin the night dances

Till the morning swallows up the night

Bridge

When the town goes silent

And the clocks forget the time

We'll be tracing constellations

In the spaces we designed

Let the orchestra keep turning

Let the pedal steel resign

We're the only light still burning

In the clockwork of the sky

Guitar Solo

Chorus

We dance the night dances

Under chandeliers that shatter into light

We spin the night dances

Till the morning swallows up the night

Bridge

Higher higher

Through the amber of the hall

Brighter brighter

We're the only ones at all

Chorus

We dance the night dances

Under chandeliers that shatter into light

We spin the night dances

Till the morning swallows up the night

Till the morning swallows up the night

Outro

And the violins they fade away

Into the quiet of the day

But the memory of your sway

Keeps the night alive
