Minuet Lyrics

I took you to your grave

So unsure

Whispering silences

To one another

We held each other close

In our own arms

And I felt your heart

Beating like a feather

And then I knew

That I knew nothing and that

I had to learn

It all again

It was so clear

That, in my head

That I was growing

So old and so apart

And we felt so sure

So secure

In our insecurity

I knew I couldn't change

From what I'd seemed to be

Before the slow

Slow dance

Of romance

We took the floor

And we danced like

Coloured lights

To the mandolin

As the world revolved

And, on the stage

The puppet sang

Falteringly

And learned his lines again

Take me to the floor

Let me in your love

Let's dance round again
