the dance and its disappearance

Singer:downie, gord

my mind

a scrub before the wind

my heart's a-pounding

let me in

it's all a-happening in a glint

ballroom blue

it's just me and you

we are the dance and its disappearance

the air a taste of mint

and night's been coming ever since

the sun's been giving off its dark hints

in orangy glows and sudbury yellows

we are the dance and its disappearance

in the distance

a howling wolf

but in the darkness there's a tinge

a slightest streak of blood-orange

like a drop of blood to the rusty door hinge

our beautiful due

it's still me and you

we are the dance and its disappearance

our beautiful due

i've been thinking about you

we are the dance and its disappearance

we are the dance and its disappearance

we are the dance and its disappearance
