All That I Ask
Dancing in Shadows: A Poetic Quest for Light
Lyrics
You came to me in a feverish dream
You appeared to me in an intense dream
With the smell on your breath of another
Your breath hinted at the presence of someone else
Let me down softly I’m begging you please
Plead with me gently, I implore you
For I need now a friend more than ever
I currently need a friend more than ever
All that I ask is a dance in the dark
All I request is a dance in darkness
With a woman who knows me like you do
With a woman who understands me as deeply as you
All that I ask for is light when I’m lost
All I seek is light when I'm lost
Not some magical syncretic voodoo
Not some mystical, syncretic voodoo
I heard a voice through a midwinter’s chill
A voice guided me through a cold winter
Saying “carry yourself through the weather”
Instructing to endure challenges on my own
Wouldn’t you know it, the spring, when it came
Ironically, when spring arrived
Then my feet felt as light as a feather
My steps became as light as a feather
All that I ask is a dance in the dark
All I desire is a dance in the dark
With a woman who knows me like you do
With a woman who knows me intimately
All that I ask is for light when I’m lost
All I ask for is light when I'm lost
Not some magical syncretic voodoo
Avoiding mystical, syncretic voodoo
I took a walk through a memory past
I revisited a memory from the past
From a bridge, spitting into the water
Spitting from a bridge into the water
That day to me was the coming of Christ
That day felt like the arrival of Christ
And you were the savior’s daughter
And you were the daughter of a savior
All that I ask is a dance in the dark
All I ask is a dance in the dark
With a woman who knows me like you do
With a woman who understands me deeply
All that I ask for is light when I’m lost
All I ask for is light when I'm lost
Not some magical syncretic voodoo [x2]
Avoiding mystical, syncretic voodoo (repeated)
