Faraway Dancers

In the summertime a torch was burning in the night
The perfect way, such a perfect day.
Then came the sun, then came clouds up in the sky
October rain, and we were not the same.

When you offered me a lonesome kiss goodbye
It was over I have read it in your eyes

I can't pretend, I can't stand it
It's only a foolish crime and I miss you
Faraway dancers were movin' together
and the orchestra was swinging, a long swingin'.

Time is rollin' by and my days are runnin' wild
In Water Lane nothing is the same
I fight against a wall, fight for you and lose control
What was a dream now is misery

In the Stanley Park they're playin' our music now
I'm older but I guess I'm safe and sound

I can't pretend, I can't stand it
It's only a foolish crime and I miss you
Faraway dancers were movin' together
and the orchestra was swinging, a long swingin'.
