lyrics

Stand in my doorway
And not by the road
How can I repay
The debts that I owe?

We’re not going to Broadway
But we’re not staying at home
I’m tired of this child’s play
I thought we had grown

Stand in my bedroom
And not in your own
Strip off your costume
And see what gets shown

Outside’s a ballroom
The fields are a throne
Everything’s in bloom
The winter’s gravestone

I’d go anywhere to dance with you
I’d go anywhere to dance with you
I’d go anywhere to dance but your lack of advances is making me blue
I’d go anywhere to dance with you

Stand in my window
And scare me awake
Move in allegro
And cure my heartache

Twirl me in the meadow
Throw me in the lake
We can just lie low
Where the waves break

I’d go anywhere to dance with you
I’d go anywhere to dance with you
I’d go anywhere to dance but your lack of advances is making me blue
I’d go anywhere to dance with you

So come tend my pastures
Don’t leave me alone
Don’t leave me fractured
Don’t leave me prone

I’ll cast you in plaster
I’ll carve you in stone
And I’ll sit enraptured
With all that we’ve grown

I’d go anywhere to dance with you
I’d go anywhere to dance with you
I’d go anywhere to dance but your lack of advances is making me blue
I’d go anywhere to dance with you
