About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your coat and hat are gone I really can't look at your little empty shelf A ragged teddy bear It feels like we never had a chance Don't look me in the eye We lay in each others arms But the room is just an empty space I guess we lived it out, something in the air We smiled too fast then can't think of a thing to say [Pre-Chorus] Lived with the best times Left with the worst I've danced with you too long Nothing left to say Let's take what we can I know you hold your head up high We've raced for the last time A place of no return [Chorus] And there's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long Something in the air Something in my eye [Verse 2] Abracadoo - I lose you We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake Now we're going to pay and pay The sentence of our lives Can't believe I'm asking you to go We used what we could to get the things we want But we lost each other on the way I guess you know I never wanted Anyone more than you [Pre-Chorus] Lived all our best times Left with the worst I've danced with you too long Say what you will There's something in the air Raced for the last time Well I know you hold your head up high There's nothing we have to say, there's nothing in my eyes [Chorus] But there's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long There's something I have to say There's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long [Outro] Danced with you too long Danced with you too long There's something in the air Something in the air
