Verse 1 When the great sun hath bowed his head and slept The shadows rise and step into the light The moon doth play the solemn quiet tune That only darkness knoweth how to sing And all the world draws breath to watch them move Chorus They spin where moonlight touches on the floor No footfall sound, no music but the wind A slow embrace that asks not for the dawn The midnight dance where silence is the song Where time stands still and nothing may disturb Verse 2 The curtains sway like ghosts that join the round The flickering flame doth bow and rise again They turn as one, as waves upon the deep No beginning there, no end that may be seen Just movement in the space between the stars Chorus They spin where moonlight touches on the floor No footfall sound, no music but the wind A slow embrace that asks not for the dawn The midnight dance where silence is the song Where time stands still and nothing may disturb Bridge I step into the circle they have made And let the night hold me within its arms For in this hour I am not alone The dark is kind, the quiet is a friend And we all move together as one breath Chorus They spin where moonlight touches on the floor No footfall sound, no music but the wind A slow embrace that asks not for the dawn The midnight dance where silence is the song Where time stands still and nothing may disturb
