you can dance when you walk 3] bring me your love: there’s a voice calling out lyrics: you can dance when you walk. in the distance somewhere bring me your love and everybody’s naked i’ve got a message bring it on home beneath the fashions we wear you can take it or leave it 1] eyes/ocean: so bring me your love you can dance when you walk bring me your body bring it on home you can dance when you walk your blood and your bones sink into your eyes bring me your body your eyes are all i see loosen up your heavy load bring me your rhythm your heart love is an ocean you’d better believe it the rhythm of life and your soul and you for me. bring me your love. you can dance when you walk. bring me your darkness an ocean refuses no river. bring me your light a small blade of grass waiting for the time it’s the dance of ages bring me your love. casts a shadow somewhere the dance that unites us all we all make a difference when we can be it’s a whisper in a hurricane bring me the water through the love that we share alone together beneath the storm. from your wishing well and we’re all naked beneath the passions we wear... so here’s a friendly reminder eternally bring me your longing so bring me your secrets you can dance when you walk and your temple bells 2] dance when you walk: you can dance when you walk bring me your love. to have and to hold i’ve got a message leave your worries bring me your poems bring me your heartbeat for the human race leave your troubled mind the ones you recite that will never grow old far behind ya the ones that you whispered you can dance when you walk in the still sacred night bring me your love you can dance when you walk you can dance when you walk you can dance when you walk bring me your love leave your smile even butterfly wings all over the place have the power to move air 4] into your hands: to contain this love oh the wicked carried us away there was nothing in my way. captivity require from us a song into your hands i lay my spirit across the shining water how can we sing king alfa’s song it was the rhythm of the heart that white swan flew in a strange land it was a fire shining through into your hands on and on and on and on let the words of our mouth and i’m dancing to that rhythm into your hands in that silent space with you and the meditation of our heart no matter what i do and as the longing increases be acceptable in thy sight it’s the rhythm of the heart into your hands i lay my life the sun comes shining through and i see my only release is om narayana and there’s only me and you dancing into your hands this silent space with you into your hands 7] road to freedom: to the rhythm of the heart. it’s more than romance it’s more than sexual now in one sense that time is over 5] silent space: this is a one-to-one jai jai gurudev your body is long gone full on connection the circus just hit babylon but the love we share i woke up laughing i don’t need to hear your voice the stage is set the lights are on is still alive strange but true to feel your heartbeat tonight we sing and that’s what leads me on i was dreaming of a white swan i don’t need a body tomorrow we’re gone i don’t need to believe in love and a silent space with you to contain this love on the road to freedom i can feel and i see i saw a colour reflected it’s right here i woke up laughing silver and blue 8] rhythm of the heart: you gave me back my innocence it’s nothing new i saw that white swan and the will to disappear in a flash of light every day is a miracle i can still remember the first time into the rhythm of the heart in that silent space with you in this silent space with you our eyes met into the firs shining through it was you and me it’s more than romance 6] rivers of babylon: and we’re dancing to that rhythm it’s more than sexual and the mystery no matter what we do it’s a time i will never forget this is a one-to-one by the rivers of babylon and in one tiny frozen moment it’s the rhythm of the heart full on connection where we sat down i don’t need to hear your voice that remains to this day and there’s only me and you and there we wept to feel your heartbeat you looked into me dancing when we remembered zion i don’t need a body and i could see to the rhythm of the heart 9] all the way: all the way and the god of mercy wherever it leads is knocking down your door even if tonight
