The music slow in the air Unheard it penetrates them They sway he rocks her with care In rolling waves of emotion Under soft lights he slips deeper The dream and the nightmare It is to hold her As they dance with fading innocence Her head on his shoulder Falling into a trusted friend His own heart a boulder Trying not to feel again But for a moment he offers a reprieve He will shut his eyes drink her in And give a war-torn heart a chance to believe His mind alone whispers his love
