about

Kim originally wrote this track for piano but it evolved over time to a more rhythmic and string based song. It explores the power of storytelling & a mythical & perhaps spiritual transformation of attraction.

lyrics

You weave your ancient tales
long lost stories of old
the fireside remembrance
distraction from the cold.
Let's make a happy ending
to transform this tale of woe.
Let the moment take you away
& who knows where we may go.

So take my hand and follow me
for to run with the wolves this night
& sing our song to the sky up above
& we dance in the firelight.
ooh dance with me tonight.

I see your spirit awaken
eyes like burning gold.
The flames they make you richer still
& shield you from the cold
& they say that the cry of the phoenix
soars like a beautiful song.
Relive this night a thousand times
& keep the spirit strong.

So take my hand and follow me
for to fly with the owls this night
& join the hunt in the sky up above
& we dance in the firelight.
ooh dance with me tonight,

So weave your ancient tales
long lost stories of old.
The fireside remnants
that keep you from the cold
& pull me ever closer
when the time is right
take my hand & come with me
& dance with me tonight,

So take my hand & come with me
for we need not fear the night,
The stars shine on in the sky up above
& we dance in the firelight.
ooh dance with me tonight.
