Janis Ian - Dancing With The Dark Lyrics

Janis Ian Lyrics

"Dancing With The Dark"

Take these burdens from my heart
Lay them down beside the sea
They are tearing me apart
Let them drift away from me
Take this sorrow from my soul
I have prayed to find some rest
It's a weight I cannot hold
It lays heavy on my breast

This long night cannot last forever
This long night, sorrow shields the stars
Give me light
Illuminate the darkness in my heart
Dancing with the dark
I'm dancing with the dark

Take these tears that blind my eyes
I have lived too long in shadows
Unbind these shuttered skies
My horizons are too narrow
Take my weariness and sorrow
Take the troubles I have borrowed
They will all be here tomorrow

This long night cannot last forever
This long night, sorrow shields the stars
Give me light
Illuminate the secrets of my heart
I'm dancing with the dark
Dancing with the dark
