Come dance with me
This is a romantic ballad about music dance, dreams and travel. Part of it seems to be about a city dweller romanticising the lifestyle of the traveler; the apparent freedom and lack of inhibitions. It is all played out in the imagination of the stay-at-homer - looking for a way ahead in their own life.
By Jim Byrne and Pat Byrne.
I watch from afar
as you move with the dance
You travel the roads
a life full of chance
You don’t know me
Do I know myself?
The stars speak so clear
and they talk of romance
And as you dance in so close
I feel the air that you move
Is there a message for me
in the steps that you choose
Ah but you don't know me
Do I know myself?
You seem so free
and romantic to me
I watch from afar
the night it moves on
I hear you laugh with your friends
I know soon you will be gone
I have memories of you
in every beat of my heart
I can still hear your dance
though I know not where you are
You never knew me
I did not know myself
Until you set me free
come dance with me
