It Keeps Us Dancing

There’s a wreckage here, it lines the coast
There’s a heartbeat like a ghost
Moving slowly through its frame
There’s a silence, a sad refrain
Where you’re going is where I’ve been
Where your heart leads it’s not the end
Like a fire you’ll grow and grow
And it keeps us moving, oh, it keeps us dancing
Oh, my past, love is harsh and thick
But still you’ve come back around here to pull me up from the sticks
And through these memories of love in vein
We keep on moving and moving
But, oh, the past, love, it carries weight
And though I swear, love, it’s far too late
Like a fire we’ll grow and grow
And it keeps us moving, oh, it keeps us dancing
But in this wreckage tonight
Through the dark there’s a light that grows
And, oh, the horns of the dawn
Beg this heart to move on and grow
But oh, you battered, oh, you broke
Turn your wheels here and guide your spokes
Because this fire will grow and grow
And it keeps us moving, oh, it keeps us dancing
Oh, say the sun to the soil
Here’s to my ever-loving girl
Here’s to the heart on my sleeve
A piece of you is a piece of me
Oh, there’s a wreckage tonight
But, I’m feeling all right
Oh, to the world and her spoils
I couldn’t love you more!
