Dance Away Lyrics by Roxy Music

The best of Roxy Music

1979

[Verse 1]
Yesterday when it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kiss goodnight
I said, "It's love", you said, "Alright"
Its funny how I could never cry
Until tonight when you pass by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying

[Chorus]
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears

[Post-Chorus]
Dance away

[Verse 2]
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 the wall
I close my eyes and dance till dawn

[Chorus]
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears

[Post-Chorus]
Dance away
Dance away
Dance away

[Verse 2]
Now I know I must walk the line
Until i find an open door
Off the street or onto the floor
There was I, many times a fool
I hoped and prayed, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough

[Chorus]
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
