[Verse 1] The sky went thin today Like a worn-out sheet You packed your ring in a matchbox And kissed my frozen cheek Down by the grocery sign That kept blinking red You said, "If this is the last night Let's not waste the time we get" [Pre-Chorus] So hold me close Till the sirens fade Hold me close Till the ash turns grey [Chorus] Dance with me, darling Dance with me slow If the world falls apart Let it see us glow Dance with me, darling One last sweet refrain When the ground gives way I'll still know your name [Verse 2] The church bells cracked in the wind The river ran black Mama's rose bush bent low But you kept coming back Your hands were cold as rain Mine were shaking too Still you laughed like a child In your Sunday blue [Pre-Chorus] So hold me close Till the sirens fade Hold me close Till the ash turns grey [Chorus] Dance with me, darling Dance with me slow If the world falls apart Let it see us glow Dance with me, darling One last sweet refrain When the ground gives way I'll still know your name [Bridge] If the moon drops down And the windows break If the sea comes up And takes the whole day away Let the last word land On your trembling hand I loved you first I love you still I always will [Final Chorus] Dance with me, darling Dance with me slow If the world falls apart Let it see us glow Dance with me, darling One last sweet refrain When the ground gives way I'll still know your name Dance with me, darling Don't let go now If this is the end Let it be us somehow
