Lyrics to Dance Away (Live 1982)

Lyrics to the song Dance Away as recorded by Roxy Music.

(Ferry)

Yesterday
Well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home
Kissed goodnight
I said "it's love" you said "alright"
It's funny how
I could never cry
Until tonight
And you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill
And guess who's dying?

Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the fear
Dance away

Loneliness
Is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once
My whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark
Off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my close
And dance till dawn

Dance away, dance away, dance away

Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street onto the floor
There was I
Many times a fool
I hope and pray
But not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough

Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the fear
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the fear
Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the fear
Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the fear

Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the fear
Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the fear
Dance away the heartache (heartache), dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache (heartache)
