Sting
When We Dance (Broadway Cast Version)
Gideon:
If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town, I'd change my name
When he watches you
When he counts to buy your soul
On your hand his golden ring
Like he owns a bird that sings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
The priest has said my soul's salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
Meg:
After 15 years gonе, what makes you think you can say these things to mе?
Gideon:
I thought of you every day for 15 years. Tell me it wasn't the same for you
Meg:
It wasn't
Gideon:
I'm still in love with you
Meg:
I have a home. I have a son
Gideon/Meg:
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I got to give/When we dance
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife/Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try it every way
I'm gonna find a place to live/When we dance
Give you all I got to give/Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
Gideon:
If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at heaven's gate
And take these hands and I'd destroy
The dark machineries of fate
Cathedrals are broken and heaven's no longer above
Hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying I'm still in love
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
Arthur:
He won't love you like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay
Arthur/Gideon:
Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I will love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
Gideon/Meg:
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings///
Arthur:
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna build a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
Gideon/Arthur/Meg:
When we dance
Gideon:
I had a dream last night
I dreamt you were by my side
I had a dream
