Jane Siberry Slow Tango Lyrics

Slow Tango Lyrics

On the sixth day 
When the word came 
We began our journey 
We would not break the promise 
Lonely 
Hasten to the shoreline 
Just in time to see them sail away 
 
All the times when we lay sleepless 
And the weather made no sense 
Challenge your hands to capture 
These landscapes, holy days 
Landscapes of dunes and red skies 
 
There is only one horizon 
Rolling thunder 
This wilderness of longing 
Tangled up forever 
Hold me for a while my love 
I can hardly hear you 
Heal me, feel my love 
 
So I find your breast against mine 
Is this the slow tango? 
I have no regrets my love 
 
I let you press 
I forget the rest 
But I feel it like the rushing dove 
That beats against the hands of time 
With pounding heart... again 
 
Is this the slow tango? 
I have no regrets my love
