Come to me, my darling, so I may hold you close
Let me gather you in my arms as we sway
Follow my steps, let the music lead you astray
Look forth into my eyes so I may believe
That you are not a dream that will fade in the sun
I grip your hand so you never may run
Do not go
No, stay here and dance with me until dawn
Let me indulge in my delusional emotions
Flow with me across the halls and floors
Across the gardens and rooftops
Across the sky and stars
Do not go until dawn
I’ll embrace you because I am engrossed
I’ll hold tight until all I grip is a ghost
Please I beg
Do not go until dawn
I’ll dance, until all I dance with is myself
I’ll dance, until all I can hear is the music’s echoes
I’ll dance, until I all but collapse
And the light leaks through the windows
The light that illuminates me, casting its glow
It will cast on me there without you, sorrowfully so
And even your whispers will be gone
All that will remain is our bond
Even that may shatter and fall
The bond that was once a glass wall
I’ll mutter the words still
Do not go
Do not go until dawn
Yet dawn is here.
The light has ripped you away.
The ghost that lurked in the dark
The ghost that was never truly you
Because how could I ever love a ghost
Someone that is an illusion at most
It is something dreams could never satisfy
Because I know you would stay, never say goodbye
Even after dawn.
I’ll breathe a sigh now
Wipe away the tears that should not fall, I vow
And gather the fragments of the broken bond
And cherish forever
Our dance until dawn
