The Dance

(Album: Susanne Sundfør - 2007)

On the tower I saw the dance
Clad in the truth of trances
Keep her under the life house
He took her lain by the clothes

So sink and fade away, like glass pearls in the sea
Sorrows go away, you're just waves on a sway
Bound to sound, the sound'll prove you anyway
Round and round, the dance will move you anyway

I was drowning
I was drowning

Sorrows will make me go astray
And regardless, sleep on my way
Bound to sound, sound'll prove me anyway
Round and round, the dance will move me anyway

Time was a beggar on the sea shore
I gave him a dime when my feet were sore
But now a sweeter storm takes me deeper
Between Maybelline lies and wary eyes
I know the higher the heels
The steeper the price
