One afternoon I
came to
hear you sing a soft song into my ear
Who would have thought,
quite by chance,
we might engage in the loving dance?
Coming together,
staying apart,
lost in diversions,
Dancing starts, caught in the quiet,
off on our own
Coming together, staying alone
Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid
What about you?
What about me?
2 years from now
Where will we be?
Each of us gone our separate ways
Lost in the headlong pas
sage of days
Maybe we might give love a try,
Extending the moment
before goodbye,
And for a gentle mo
ment in time
We'll take what
pleasure people can find
Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid
What is for real, what is false
All of us seem to be caught in our walls
Turning around, turning again
When will the dancing ever end?
As for us, you and me
Our eyes are open, we can see
Both of us know where we have been
Why must we both go dancing again?
I'm not afraid.
Are you afraid?
Come join the dancing
come join the walls.
Don't look too closely at my folds
Why can't I die here in your arms
safe from the night
and away from the dawn?
Back to nothing that has no name
back to nowhere from where I came
Don't worry of me.
I know I am where I'm going
and where I've been
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,
