Involved in a long standing on again off again relationship a man wonders how to proceed. He worries that if he stays too patient the intensity and passion needed for the relationship to survive may just die away.
Fond memories have him persevere and not give up hope. The reality of what they've shared is what keeps the fire alive.
On the other hand he realizes he must stay guarded for her indecisive nature has caused him great pain in the past. Yet, now he can feel her drawing away as her mind must too be filled with doubts and confusion. He senses this in the uncomfortableness that fills the spaces of their time together.
So, he'll just dance on and be there for and with her. Hoping that his care, love and devotion will help her see how good he is for her. While remaining cautious he will not hide the passion and care he has for her. He will let her always see that he wants her heart.
lyrics
Keep on Dancing 10/27/78
If I pause too long will she be there or dissolve
Dust lies on the floor makes me think of nights of yore
I just really want to touch you
This the advent of my heartache, I will guard the flame
Misguided inclination led my heart astray
The fervor of the moment is already on the wane
Impuissant little harlot kills the fire with her rain
Swoon in flashing lights dancing sharp but soft to excite
Given to a dream flower petals fall and gleam
I just really want to touch you
Glancing thru the heat into the sorrow that we weave
I’m not one for this silence, yet this isn’t all too real
It’s my guess that you’re starving to feel safe in one’s call
It’s all so confusing, I’ll just dance and charm
I just really want to touch you
Keep on dancing all thru the night
I, I want your heart
