the harm sway

Somebody's getting married
so we thought we'd watch.
We came all this way, to find
what we have not. We're both
such grand romantics. We rule
this hell. Heaven's better service, 
maybe. Who could tell?

We've gotten lost in heaven 
a twice or thrice through.
I never once regretted 
your decisions for you. 
But still to find you now
at the end, I'm amazed
So why don't we dance
crazy? One more? 
Dance craze! 

We do the harm
sway, holding you tight
for our last dance
for forever ever, tonight
We do the harm
sway, and I can't let go,
I know,
I know,
I know, song's
over too slow, 

but I cannot help 
keeping my mind's eye closed 
denial of the future's my job, 
I suppose. You were always better 
at seeing things clear, just
not all at once or in time, 
my dear 

We do the harm
sway, holding you tight
for our last dance
for forever ever, tonight
We do the harm
sway, I can't let go,
I know,
I know,
I know, the song's

too slow
