I thought I saw you at the light, from the corner of my eye
On an unfamiliar street, came an old familiar smile
Well, it might have been the song, that was drifting through the night
Like a flower’s sweet perfume, made me think of days gone by
Well, I heard it once before, on a tinny radio
From a station out of tune, just this side of Mexico
On a moonless desert night, alone in the wide world
We danced beneath the stars, to the music of our hearts
You haunt me, can’t I be, lost in your arms
Those rhythms, can’t keep them, far from my thoughts
Once upon a time, you gave your love to me
Wouldn’t say that it was true, couldn’t say that it was free
But I know that you are mine, and I know just where you’ll be
Lying in a shallow grave, now the devil waits for me
You haunt me, can’t I be, lost in your arms
Those rhythms, can’t keep them, far from my thoughts
Now that I’m alone, can’t stand the empty nights
And my mind is not my own, that’s where you hold me tight
But I know that I will see, with the setting of the sun
Shadows dancing on the wall, to the music of our hearts
