Pirouettes

let me call it what it is
i'm losing grip of my mind
like a river changing course
all my wells are slowly running dry

rain keeps falling in reverse
a black sun is shining through
and as the rainbow bleeds away
i’m down here calling on you
mmm i’m down here calling on you

dancing in the dark out in the silence
our silhouettes are turning pirouettes
I see you looking at me in the twilight
but will you hold me when the sky is turning red

let me tell it like it is
we might not last the night
but will you let me hold you now
we can watch the fire burn until it dies
we keep spinning, round and round
lover i’m seeing stars
as the music fades away
i’m down here calling on you

dancing in the dark out in the silence
our silhouettes are turning pirouettes
i see you looking at me in the twilight
but will you hold me when the sky is turning red
there’s a lullaby that keeps on playing
a thousand voices singing in my head
i see you looking at me in the starlight
but will you hold me when the sky is turning red

turning, twisting
no need to put me down
on the tips of our toes
we never touch the ground

dancing in the dark out in the silence
our silhouettes are turning pirouettes
i see you looking at me in the twilight
but will you hold me when the sky is turning red
there’s a lullaby that keeps on playing
a thousand voices singing in my head
i see you looking at me in the starlight
but will you hold me when the sky is turning red
