Lyrics
a love song, a rarity in the mike rucker catalog...
sensing someone closer than forever
but silhouetted by a misty haze
captured by two eyes that seldom wander
she's tapped upon her shoulder by his gaze
in mirrors that reflect one lonely image
in haunting notes the silent band now plays
she hears a whispered voice whene'er she listens
still tapped upon her shoulder by his gaze
trapped in solo dancing
no touch upon her skin
she guides her tender feet across the floor
wallflower in the circle
but drawing back again
to find a lonesome shadow like before
she's there but she is somehow also missing
and left behind her shadow somehow stays
and then the one he casts is there right beside hers
to tap upon her shoulder with his gaze
captured by the spotlight
dancing on the wall
there's nothing that these lovers need conceal
the other guests now exit
out thru a darkened hall
there's little that each one should dare reveal
the shadows sense they're closer than forever
as one they hold these magic-tinted days
and catch each other’s eyes that dare not wander
each tapped upon a shoulder by a gaze
