Slow Dancer
Robert Plant · Pictures at Eleven [1982]
Slow.....
Slow dancer, ooh no answer for you
new moves to see
Oh, fast talker, in darkened corners, for you
new words to hear
Oh sly glances, half-chances for you
the eye that sees
When the sun slips from the day
and the coolness brings relief
there's no torment 'neath the stars
in the stillness of the night
when the swirling has to cease, behind the safety of the veil
Now...
In high places, ooh darkened faces, so indifferent in days to be
Oh lost race, no losers only winners return to see
New orders can't be altered, when the eyes refuse to see
and the sun slips from the day, and the coolness brings relief
there's no torment 'neath the stars in the stillness of the night
when the swirling has to cease behind the safety of the veil
ah ah ah ah, ah ah oh (2x)
Now
Soft spoken, never could be broken awaiting the call that frees
slow burning, soon will learn, complacence bears down on me
hearts leaping, hopes been reachin' to the heights - to the heights
the signs to see
