The Dancer - Demo
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flame
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light in splendour and glory
I can't believe what the Lord has finally sent me
He said, "Dance for me, fanciulla gentile"
He said, "Laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel"
He said, "Fly with me, touch the face of the true god
Make me cry with joy at the depth of my love"
'Cause I'd prayed days, I'd prayed nights
For the Lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, I've looked far
To bring peace to my sad and empty heart
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
My love will stay 'til the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
And I love him longer as each damn day goes
And the man is gone and heaven only knows
I've cried days, I've cried nights
For the Lord just to send me home some sign
Is he near? Is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
So long day, so long night
Oh Lord, be near me tonight
Is he near? Is he far?
Bring peace to my sad and empty heart
Heart
