It Keeps Us Dancing

There's a wreckage here, it lines the coast
There's a heartbeat like a ghost
Moving slowly through its frame
There's a silence, a sad refrain
Where you're going is where I've been
Where your heart leads, it's not the end
Like a fire, you'll grow and grow
And it keeps us moving
Oh, it keeps us dancing

Oh, my past, love, is harsh and thick
But still, you've come back around here to pull me up from the sticks
And through these memories of love in vain
We keep on moving, and moving
And moving, and moving, and moving
But oh, the past, love, it carries weight
And though I swear, love, it's far too late
Like a fire, we'll grow and grow
And it keeps us moving
Oh, it keeps us dancing

But in this wreckage tonight
Through the dark, there's a light that grows
And, oh, the horns of the dawn
Beg this heart to move on and grow

But oh, you battered, oh, you broke
Turn your wheels here and guide your spokes
Because this fire will grow and grow
And it keeps us moving
Oh, it keeps us dancing

Oh, say the sun to the soil
"Here's to my ever-loving girl
Here's to the heart on my sleeve
A piece of you is a piece of me"

Oh, there's a wreckage tonight
But I'm feeling all right
Oh, to the world and her spoils
I couldn't love you more
