The Last Dance

Gently Down

The Last Dance


Dont treat gently now 
what you wont always 
when you run away 
Dont care now for the things 
that will make you regret 
Dont show me 
pictures and memoirs 
of what you expect me to be 
All these things 
if have to have them 
why are you looking here 

Close to me you fall asleep 
Turned face to the door 
Dreamed I could 
take you back to the old 
Why dont you 
go back to yourself 
Im sorry for you 
go back to yourself 

So long finally out of time 
Could the world 
satisfy your heart 
Softly now listen to the firelight 
Gently down 
raise your head and go 

Still run away safely behind 
and gently inside these places 
Secrets, like feelings, 
Ill never know 
Wrapped up inside the memory 
of where you would rather be, 
softly now, falling asleep, 
gently down, 
Laid gently down
