Verse 1Am
Balanced on the railway track
BAm
I felt your eyes upon my back
FC
the London train moved swiftly
EDBAm
Past to cover silent ground
Am
Darting through your shrouded woods
BAm
Ignite your fire and douse my good
FC
Your smoky trail a path I'll suit
EDBAm
I find myself alone
ChorusAmFDFDCDCGF
I was dancing... ...could not geet away

I was dancing on the road

when lights cast shadows where I strode

though fast my legs could fairly go

I could not get away

a face more soft than snow

like bees and toast to honey pots
EDBAmC
we stick ourselves to sweet

I was dancing in the rain
seep through my clothes and my pale skin
lights twinkle round me as I spin
and we both dance away
