Dancer Lyrics

There was a girl and Sorrow was her name

She looked for love so long that it became a game

Party after party – every night she'd go

And blend into the darkness when they turned the lights down low

But she stepped into the spotlight when the wine began to flow

And she became a DANCER when the music played real slow

He was a cool one – across the floor he'd glide

He took her in his arms and she took him inside

He was a romancer – a whisper in the wind

She was every answer in the mind of every man

They slipped out of the party on a sultry night in June

And tried to lose their heartache 'neath a drunken, summer moon

The air burned hot

The stars hung bare

It seemed like her search for love had ended all right there

She thought she found her answer – she'd looked for love so long

But, like very other DANCER, in the morning he was gone

And now she cries and thinks about the lies

And stares at her reflection – at the empty, worn disguise

Sorrow stops to wonder, Will this searching ever cease?

To hear through all the thunder for the slightest sound of peace

She holds her heart and ponders, Will this torment ever end

And is there any DANCER who could ever be a friend?
