Slow Dancer Lyrics by Robert Plant

Pictures at Eleven

1982

[Intro]
Slow!

[Verse 1]
Slow dancer
Ooh, no answers
For you
New moves to see
Oh, fast talkers
In dark corners
For you
New words to hear
Oh, sly glances
Oh, half chances
For you
The eye that sees

[Chorus]
When the sun slips from the day
And the coolness brings relief
There's no torment 'neath the stars
In the stillness of the night
When the swirling has to cease
Behind the safety of the veil
Ooh yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Now
In high places
Ooh, darkened faces
So indifferent
In days to be
Oh, lost race
No losers
Only winners
Return to see
New orders
Can't be altered, oh
When the eyes
Refuse to see

[Chorus]
When the sun slips from the day
And the coolness brings relief
There's no torment 'neath the stars
In the stillness of the night (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
When the swirling has to cease (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Behind the safety of the veil (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah

[Verse 3]
No no no no!
Soft, it's soft spoken
Never could get broken
Awaiting the call that frees
Slow burning
Oh, turn with yearning
Complacence burns down on me
Hearts leaping
Hopes been reaching
To the heights, to the heights
The signs to see

[Outro & Guitar Solo]
Oh, baby
I should say now, baby baby baby
In the darkness
Oh Lord, so good
Oh Lord, so fine
In the darkness, in the darkness
Yes, yes, yes, yeah
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah) I don't wanna go
(Ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah no no no no no I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
It feels good
Oh yes
Please, please, please
So good, so good, so good, my baby
