Broken Dance

Dance,

my darling

start by an elegant stance

move like the flowing river,

and sing

 

A dress made of silver

dancing with grace,

with a measured pace

So beautiful

takes my breath away

with love so bountiful

makes me sway

 

Dance,

my darling

and finish strong

 

Just in case

your was-to-be husband

would put a bullet in you

putting me through a mad chase

for your death was in disgrace

 

Dance,

my darling

he's mad you left him-

for me.

So he's making me pay

by ending your dance

does he hat you?

I say nay

He's just a man

a man who couldn't accept fate

 

And so

maybe the date

when you will die

will come soon

never to dance for me

under the starlit sky

 

So just dance,

my darling.

Dance.
