Lyrics

Dancing After Dark
Music and lyrics written by Jay Matthes

(VHS audio intro)

First verse:
Stained glass paints color on black
on my mother, my brother and I
When the prayers have been read
and everyone's left us to stories and glasses of wine

Chorus:
We go dancing after dark
Move to the songs that we love
Sing softly, cry on a shoulder, sway that much slower

Second verse:
Flowers, pictures on tables
A baby, a boy and a man
We laugh, say things like "he always" and "he never" said this or did that

(Chorus)

(VHS audio break)

(Chorus)

(Repeat first verse)
