• Mexican smoke dancing in through the screen
    Swaying intangible hips to an unseen beat
    Rolled R's getting high off the American dream
    A spanish fly sings "Senorita move your feet"

    Heat bears down hard on this lonely place
    The sun sits, perched closely on our shoulder
    Disdain written in ink all over your face
    As the dying cigarettes of men cease to smolder

    The air grows cool with alcoholic humidity
    Hazy eyes watch the swath of red cloth
    A twist of fate a sort of serendipity
    Your eyes meet mine a flame drawn to the moth

    Stunning, the color of your eyes became irrelevant
    Dizzy from this heat I claim
    Body numb, all but my sight and your scent
    You were a fear which I was willing to tame

    The flame with passion grew even brighter
    Room spinning faster then the dance
    A waltz of spite from the sparks of a fighter
    When did we begin to burn in this romance

    We fought through tangos and spins
    Pulling and pushing through steps of the song
    This war we fought, both of us won
    No direction we went was seen as wrong

    But your eyes still snapped with anger and need
    A place I wanted to fill
    You laughed with scorn at my greed
    How could my passion be your will

    But long forgotten were those days
    That my mind knew nothing of you
    I traveled roads that weaved many ways
    That brought me along side, dancing in your view

    If you tell me to leave I'll stay by your side
    Even while the night is packing up it's moonlight
    If you tell me to stay I'll disappear without a fight
    For if you know you need me I know you're alright

    If you tell me to leave I'll stay by your side
    As the dawn approaches in quickening pace
    Even when the sun tells the stars to hide
    I'll be one step behind in this empty race

    Forever I'll watch your hands by your sides
    Until someday one is tucked inside
    The hand of another who loves you like I
    I'll tuck my hands in my pockets and fall out of your life

    Hidden away forever and a day
    They will certainly be without a ring
    Take them out and find a way
    To let another help you sing

    My hands will always long for yours
    No other will ever fit the same way
    But maybe in time they can learn
    To, with a new hand, face the new day

    As the sun set and the song made its downturn
    The singer made her crescendo and crashed
    Just like the sun, it ceased to burn
    As we departed, we knew, our love was dashed

    The sun always will rise on a new day
    Though these eyes will never see it the same
    A lifetime of love passed through my mind
    While we were dancing, gazes entwined
