When We Dance
Sting · Best Of-Fields Of Gold
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town, I'd change my name
When he watches you
When he comes to buy your soul
On your hand his golden rings
Like he owns a bird that sings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
The priests have said my soul's salvation
Lies in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm still in love with you
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at heaven's gate
I'd take these hands
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate,
The vehicles are broken
Heaven's the one above
Hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
I'm still in love
He won't love you
Like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay
Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'd come and be my wife
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'd only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'd only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'd only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
