Twelfth Of Never - Nightlong lyrics

rate me

Long ago I saw her

spinning slowly by herself

in some room full of strangers in some strange town

Spin around and look at me, please

Come to see and speak with me

"Life is lonely," someone said, but I was spellbound

and could only nod my head

A dancer from a dream, a footstep away from me

Another time near the water

standing on the Singing Sands

watching ships from other lands

I turned my gaze and she was there

spinning slowly by the water

From somewhere the music caught her

and carried her away

I was spellbound

A dancer from a dream, a footstep away from me

I've followed her footprints but they disappear

And sometimes I think it's her singing I hear

Through years of eluding me I finally one night

sat at my mirror longing for the sight

Lo! She appeared and didn't flee

The dancer I had sometimes seen

was laughing looking back at me.
