When We Dance Songtext
von Sting

If he loved you, like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I′d move town
I'd change my name

When he watches you
When he counts to buy your soul
On your hand, his golden rings
Like he owns a bird that sings

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

The priest has said my soul′s salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion


When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
(I'm gonna love you more than life)
(If you will only be my wife)
(I'm gonna love you night and day)
(I′m gonna try in every way)
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
(I′m gonna find a place to live)
(Give you all I've got to give)
(I′m gonna love you more than life)
(If you will only be my wife)

If I could break down these walls and shout my name at Heaven's gate
I′d take these hands and I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
Cathedrals are broken, Heaven′s no longer above
And hellfire's a promise away, I'd still be saying: I′m still in love, I′m still in love, I'm still in love, I′m still in love

He won't love you, like I love you
He won′t care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay
Come and live with me
We′ll have children of our own

I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife
(I'm gonna love you more than life)
(If you will only be my wife)
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
(I′m gonna love you night and day)
(I′m gonna try in every way)
(I'm gonna find a place to live)
(Give you all I′ve got to give)


When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
(I'm gonna love you more than life)
(If you will only be my wife)
(I′m gonna love you night and day)
(I'm gonna try in every way)
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
(I′m gonna find a place to live)
(Give you all I've got to give)
(I'm gonna love you more than life)
(If you will only be my wife)

When we dance
(I′m gonna love you night and day)
(I′m gonna try in every way)
(I'm gonna find a place to live)
(Give you all I′ve got to give)
(I'm gonna love you more than life)
(If you will only be my wife)
(I′m gonna love you night and day)
(I'm gonna try in every way)
