Give Me One More Dance

 

too many faces 

have passed beneath this frame 

too many names to file 

sometimes it’s hard to stay current 

so why as i grow older 

all this sediment 

these sedimental layers of guilt 

this deep repent 

for wounds too old to heal 

 

give me one more dance 

one last show of hands 

from every soul who thinks they’ve seen 

just one too many endings 

 

too many faces 

have passed beneath this frame 

too many names to file 

sometimes it’s hard to stay current 

so take me down this fractured path 

of memory, of smoke and glass 

 

give me one more dance 

one last show of hands 

from every soul who thinks they’ve seen 

just one too many endings
