lyrics

Fly away to the sea.
There you'll find the remedy.
I'll sail on and meet you there.
Follow the moon and suck in the air.
As every day goes by, I hope that you grow stronger.
I'll go about my way, listening to the sound of my heart.

And you had to dance alone. To dance alone.
You had to dance alone. To dance alone.

How will it feel when we meet.
Will the rhythm know the beat?
And will the rain have passed? If we hide from the winter, we may never last. As every month goes by, the knots will all unravel and all that will remain, will answer our hearts.

And you had to dance alone. To dance alone.
You had to dance alone. To dance alone.

The wind blew me up from the countryside.
With reason and context and plans.
The stereo whispered a warning that you were adrift in the sands.

You had to dance alone. To dance alone.
You had to dance alone. To dance alone.
