I saw the curtain move I saw the hand that pulled the shade And in a moment the lights went out And a radio began to play And I crossed the empty street With the window in my view But I couldnt see through To watch them dance in the darkness Then round the corner Came this old mans shuffling feet And I bummed him for a cigarette And he hands the whole damn pack to me And he said, Ive watched you for the last six nights And brother why do you want to bleed? I guess you just cant shake the need To watch them dance in the darkness Up there an angels falling Up there cant you hear him calling out her name Can you feel them touch? Can you hear them breathe? Up there time aint moving Up there no ones losing any sleep For fools like us, two fools like us Down here on the street You might also likeI said, Wait a minute mister Man, you just dont understand She was everything I ever wanted And the old man, he just held out his hand And said, Welcome to the one place No one ever wants to be Where even in your dreams You watch them dance in the darkness Up there an angels falling Up there cant you hear them calling out her name Can you feel them touch? Can you hear them breathe? Up there time aint moving Up there no ones losing any sleep For fools like us, to fools like us Down here on the street
fool, darkness, hear, dance, watch
