I took a lot for granted waiting on you girl
I've seen the seats of empires right out across the world
When providence affords us all our broken dreams
Through chance and misconception,
Nothing's as it seems
In the eyes of the unrepentant
In the soul of the holy man
In the heart of the loving mother
In the dreams of the traveling band
We can dance 'til morning
And we can watch the stars
Or we can stay right where we are.
If you can tell a fortune,
If you can read the skies,
If you can call the honest man from a false disguise
Then you're in debt to no one,
You're tethered to no chain
I wish you well, bid you adieu til we meet again
In the touch of a perfect stranger
In the pain of a broken heart
In the innocence of children
In the end and in the start
We can dance 'til morning
And we can watch the stars
Or we can stay right where we are
In the eyes of the unrepentant
In the soul of the holy man
In the heart of the loving mother
In the dreams of the travelling band
In the touch of the perfect stranger
In the pain of a broken heart
In the innocence of children
In the end and the start
We can dance 'til morning
And we can watch the stars
Or we can stay right where we are
