lyrics

Tango

it was not the amber sunset
led him to rejoice
it was not the perfect passion
in her angel voice

it was not the taste of sugar
led him to give thanks
it was not the scent of money
piled up in the banks

being loves its being
an avalanche of sense
we live in our atom dance
a tango so immense

it was not the hearth and family
it was not the love of crowds
it was not the hint of quiet
gratitude aroused

he was just another creature
ruled like us by sight and sound
subject to the same surprise
when grace flared back around

chorus

it was not the revelation
it was not a magic kiss
there was no apt explanation
for a flash like this

being loves its being
an avalanche of sense
we live in our atom dance
a tango so immense 2x
