Dancing with Tears in My Eyes

From the album Lament (1984/349) and inspired by Nevil Shute's 1957/315 novel “On the Beach”.


   [chorus]
 Dancing with tears in my eyes
 Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
 Dancing with tears in my eyes
 Living out a memory of a love that died

   [verse 1]
 It's five and I'm driving home again
 It's hard to believe that it's my last time
 The man on the wireless cries again
 It's over, it's over

  [chorus]
 Dancing with tears in my eyes
 Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
 Dancing with tears in my eyes
 Living out a memory of a love that died

  [verse 2]
 It's late and I'm with my love alone
 We drink to forget the coming storm
 We love to the sound of our favorite song
 Over and over

  [chorus]
 Dancing with tears in my eyes
 Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
 Dancing with tears in my eyes
 Living out a memory of a love that died

  [bridge]
 It's time and we're in each other's arms
 It's time but I don't think we really care

  [chorus]
