Chris Michaud - Won't You Dance For Me

Cheeks flushed and I've got to get going
This place ain't for me anymore
Too many ghosts here
Too many broken promises and big mistakes

Round my head and never sticks the landing
Opened up - I opened up
Find myself cut and divided
Caveat emptor

Seek to soothe but nothing is the fix
A honeyed kiss, a poison dart
A beautiful night
But you just played the part

Draw the curtains, raise the horns in crescendo
Stage exit left - nowhere else to go
At a junction between this world and moving on through
This place ain't for me anymore

I see you in every drop of rain
I hear your laugh in every gust of wind
I taste your skin on my lips every time
I try to open my mouth to speak again

But there's no use to recollect and reconvene
The damage has been done, the severance clean

Laying here on the thinning ice
In my mind's eye I revisit
The night you slipped away from me

My breath curls up into steam
And the night sky expands
Infinite beyond my reach

And the pinpricks of light still sparkle
Even though I don't feel reprieve
From all the darkness

There's no use to recollect and reconvene
The damage has already been done,
The severance clean

The harmonies once sung
Left unresolved and incomplete
At a junction in between
This place ain't for me anymore
