Strangers Dancing

Michael Malarkey


Well lost little lamb
Is it a sleight of hand?
And you're a talking in tongues
I can't understand
And I'm feeling strange

Who are these two sleeping people?
We've been awake for too long
Spinning out in delirium, oh, oh
But who are we now?

Who are these strangers dancing?
Your lips are on my ear
You’re whispering sweet nothings
And the sweetest things
But they’e still just nothing

And I owe you more than I have
I thought that this was forever
So, so long
My little stranger dancing

Alone in the crowded room
All I can see is you
Fading out, fading out
Oh, don’t fade all the way
I need to see your face

And who are we now?
Who are these strangers dancing?
Your lips are on my ear
And I swear I can hear
But when I open my eyes
You seem to have disappeared

Where you even here at all
My little stranger dancing?
