Dancing Past The Edge of Time (Romantic Bolero Ballad Version)

[Verse 1] Lead me where the evening bends And the daylight leaves its claim Through the years we carried one another Through the glory and the blame You steadied every trembling bridge I crossed with foolish pride And when the road gave way beneath me You were walking at my side [Chorus] Turn with me beneath these fading stars Turn while there is breath enough to sing Hold the thread between our weary hands Until the dark unfastens everything We are dancers, dancing past the Edge of Time [Verse 2] We were never saints or prophets Only travelers in the rain Building little shelters for each other Against the sorrow and the pain You brought peace into the quarrel You chose mercy over right And somehow made a place for hope On the hardest nights [Chorus] Turn with me beneath these fading stars Turn while there is breath enough to sing Hold the thread between our weary hands Until the dark unfastens everything We are dancers, dancing past the Edge of Time [Bridge] Now your chair is filled with silence And your voice has crossed the sea Yet the steps we learned together Still move somewhere inside me The dance was never conquest It was kindness, hand in hand Two imperfect souls becoming More than either one had planned [Final Chorus] Turn with me beyond these fading stars Turn where time can no longer take its due Every step we gave to one another Still shines within the dust we wander through We are dancers, dancing past the Edge of Time And when the final musician closes The worn and faithful score I’ll follow where your footsteps vanished And we will turn once more For we are dancers, Dancing past the Edge of Time [Outro] Not to escape the ending Not to bargain with the night But because love taught us how to carry One small flame against the dying light.
