this dance we do that leaves me breathless
reeling on the edge of falling down
a lodestone pull that leaves me breathless
through many lifetimes handed down
and you touch hands
and you taste breath
and you know
and you try to walk in step and stumble laughing
and hold each other up to stop the fall
you hold each others eyes like a magnet
and for a moment time itself just seems to stall
and you watch
each other sleeping
and you try not to let on how overwhelming
this wave is that carries you along
you smile 'cause you start to fell like dancing
or suddenly just breaking into song
and you touch hands
and you taste breath
and you lead me like a spirit through the forest
where I alone would surely fear to go
safely with my hand upon your shoulder
somehow it's a thing that I just know
a bell that once stuck will ring forever
it just gets louder the closer it is held
love is a bell that once struck will ring forever
it just gets louder the closer it is held
