I CANNOT DANCE

I Cannot Dance


I cannot dance for my two feet
No longer feel the beat
The music doesn't move me now
Be it loud or sweet.

I cannot dance for my two ears
Have long since lost the tune
So I stand still in the dark of night
Staring at the moon.

I cannot dance for my two arms
Have not a love to hold
So I sit here cradling myself
Shivering in the cold. 

I cannot dance for my two eyes
Cannot see the dream
Or love in someone else's eyes
But hear the silent scream.

I cannot dance for my defective heart
Would burst now if I tried
The world's a sadder, quieter place
Now that the music's died.
