Lyrics
Whispers chase the evening light Fingers trace the edge of night Heart bends low in shadowed sway Lost in rhythms that won't fade away
Every turn a secret sigh Dancing close, then saying goodbye Blue fire flickers, pulls me near Swinging wild through joy and fear
Ba-da-bee, doo-wah, sway and bend Skat-a-dat, twist and spin again Doo-wah-zee, low and deep it cries Swingin' low where the heartache lies
Bee-bop-bah, chase the fleeting spark Dah-dit-dat, light fades in the dark Wah-oo-wee, echoes soft and true Bend the blue till I'm breakin' through
One: Heart leaps, then falls away Two: Shadows call, I sway and stay Three: Passion twists in endless flight Four: Solitude steals the night
Whispers chase the evening light Fingers trace the edge of night Heart bends low in shadowed sway Lost in rhythms that won't fade away
Every turn a secret sigh Dancing close, then saying goodbye Blue fire flickers, pulls me near Swinging wild... through joy... and fear
Whispers in Shadowed Sway
