And We Dance by Bruce Cockburn Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Midnight flight
Full moon light
Laughter in the air
It's a party all right
Slate-blue clouds
Iridescent sea
I'm headed for you
And you're headed for me
[Chorus]
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
[Verse 2]
Down there in the realm of power
Somebody's manicured hands
Play the ace of influence
Against the jack of demands
I reach for the deck
Draw the seven of hearts
It doesn't mean the world
But it's a better place to start
[Chorus]
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
[Verse 3]
Paradox and contrast
Variety and change
History repeats
But it's never the same
We've got this time
We've got this rhythm
Till the whole thing comes apart
Just like light through a prism
[Chorus]
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
Midnight flight
Full moon light
Laughter in the air
It's a party all right
Slate-blue clouds
Iridescent sea
I'm headed for you
And you're headed for me
[Chorus]
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
[Verse 2]
Down there in the realm of power
Somebody's manicured hands
Play the ace of influence
Against the jack of demands
I reach for the deck
Draw the seven of hearts
It doesn't mean the world
But it's a better place to start
[Chorus]
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
[Verse 3]
Paradox and contrast
Variety and change
History repeats
But it's never the same
We've got this time
We've got this rhythm
Till the whole thing comes apart
Just like light through a prism
[Chorus]
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
