Dust and Moonlight Tango

(ahh) Summer dust on the window pane

You laughed with your coat half on

Like leaving was part of the dance

I held the door and a tired grin

You spun my hurt into chance Boots on the floor,

heart in my hand

Moon on the hood of your car

I wanted less, I wanted more

You never stayed very far

Stay a little longer in the blue

Let me make a small song out of you

If you go, I will still leave the light

For the lost and the lucky tonight

Stay a little longer,

moving slow

There is mercy in the things we do not know

Cafe smoke and cinnamon rain

You stole a sip from my cup

Said every saint needs a bad old joke

Just to keep waking up

I teased your crown of easy lies You kissed the air,

not me

Still every road bends back to your name Like vines to a

cypress tree

Maybe love is a crooked road Maybe hope wears black at night

Maybe two sad hearts can sway

Till the morning turns them light Stay a little longer in the

blue Let me make a small song out of you If you

go, I will still leave the light

For the lost and the lucky tonight Stay a little longer,

moving slow

There is mercy in the things we do not know (ooh) (ahh)

Summer dust on the window pane

I smile and let you go
