The Seventh Bell


Walking at sunset to the beautiful gloom

An eve of pleasure spun on my loom

Strolling through these fields of France

Fate it seems would take a chance

I come upon you, but what could I find

A heavenly being so lovely and kind

Midnight strikes a shot at romance

A look at each other, it’s time to dance

 

Dance with me the dance of love

Dance with me and the stars above

Dance with me the dance of our lives

Dance with me among these knives

If you would, dance with me tonight

 

Passion turns to light the candle

Love so hot it’s hard to handle

Your eyes on fire with passionate light

Burning my soul in the blessed night

Every kiss we share is a smoking gun

Our hearts so close they beat as one

The night is ours, all by ourselves

Dancing it away till the seventh bell
 

 Dance with me the dance of love

Dance with me and the stars above

Dance with me the dance of our lives

Dance with me among these knives

If you would, dance with me tonight

 

Your body moves so perfectly

Here in my arms you belong to me

With the skin of silk and looks to kill

Music of the night so soft and shrill

Hands together in spinning charm

The breaking dawn strikes my alarm

To stay and love, or to flee and survive

Glowing eyes extend your reply

With a broken heart I hold you tight

My body to ashes at dawns first light

 

Dance with me the dance of love

Dance with me and the stars above

Dance with me the dance of our lives

Dance with me among these knives

If you would, dance with me tonight
