about

This track was inspired by the beauty and the danger of trying to control one another in love. I was inspired by the tango and wanted to pay homage to the passion of the dance.

lyrics

The spring of youth inspires love.
The story's to begin,
Entangled in a whim.
Let the dance begin!

The rhythm drew us close together
Alas, the beat was not forever.
The push and pull sent through our swaying arms
The two and fro of love in all its charms.

We play at love, then fight to lead,
A passion follows with such greed.
We dance in circles gazing with a fire,
Our hearts conspire, filled with desire.

I pull away in jest,
You see it as a test.
Your pride stands oh so tall,
But soon that wall will fall.
You glide across the floor
To claim you've closed the door,
But our hearts seek something more,
We dip into a rapture!

I point my toe as you embrace me
You turn your head and I go crazy!
And so the game of love is played again,
The on again, and off again of love!
