In the fading candlelight we move as windless ships
With the breath of the angels two souls entwined
in the dance of the broken heart
Our secret marriage needs no vows, true love never needs to be spoken
Dance with me close in our darkest embrace, as night will soon be broken
How do the things that always begin so right
always end so very wrong?
When we were but stars in the heavens in time,
stars in the heavens in time will fade after so very long
I always believed, I always believed in my heart
that this lovewould keep us strong
But as this love hides in the roses to night,
it dances it dances, in the broken heart
So bitter was I in the times when your heart beat fierce and free
You'd breathe in the night in another's arms,
but say that you wish it was me
If only to bridge this chasm of distance,
to be with you everywhere
I'd kiss away all of your sorrows and tears,
if only I could have been there
How do the things that always begin so right
always end so very wrong?
I drift in the night on a bridge of incompetence
still really dont know why
though I know by these times that the darkest days
always began with a smile
I always believed, I always believed in my heart
that this love would still keep us strong
But as this love hides in the roses tonight,
it dances it dances, in the broken heart
This place at the edge of the river,
I've created for you
It's one night in heaven adrift the stars,
to turn all your grey skies blue
But I know when the night gives birth to the dawn,
it's wings will fly you away
But I whisper in silence through tears in your eyes,
would it be too much if I ask you to stay?
How do the things that always begin so right
always end so very wrong?
I drift in the night on a sea of desire but I still believe in you
And for all of these dreams, and for what it's worth,
it always comes down to you
And I always believed, I always believed in my heart,
that this love inside would still keep us strong
But as this love dies in the roses tonight,
it dances it dances in the broken heart
