Window light, a lover's lament
Scale these walls, damn that cement
'Cause I'm trying to keep your eyes from burning me
You're so tired, but it's never enough
City girls acting so tough
And I'm sinking, spinning from the way you're turning me
Oh you don't know the first thing about being in love
It's hidden in the smoke rings that you blow up above
And I'm Dancing Scarlet through the night
Dancing 'til I get it right
But I can't let you go, and I can't let you go
Satellite of silver and gold
Cheap wine by the side of the road
And I'm running wherever those street lights will carry me
Well you shine just like a diamond in the pouring rain
Whispering through the rails like a ghost of a speeding train
But I'm Dancing Scarlet through the night
Dancing 'til I get it right
But I can't let you go, I can't let you go
No I can't let you go
I can't let you go
No I can't let you go
I can't let you go
(Can't let you go...)
