lyrics

May I have this dance? 
The long awaited glance; 
The Progress.

 Ignore my shaking hands,
 The interrupting wind,
 The questions.

But how can it be, now? 
We’ll find a way somehow.

Winds and days and seas change
 But always change the same.
 We can chart the way.
 We can drop these ropes 
And hold on through the throes,
 It’s easy.

The motion of progress is pushing us on; 
Who are we to say “No”? 
Who are we to give up so easily? 
Who are we to look fate in the face  and turn the other way? 
Who are we to say “No?”

The devils in the details 
His hoof prints all around. 
The questions in the background 
Disrupt the sound 
Of our delicate dance, 
This civilized romance, 
This waltz of ours. 
We can do the measurements again 
We can make this work,
 It doesn’t have to be the end.
 I swear I thought we could find a way 
Somehow.
