We were born beneath the same? sky, And I left California, far behind Cause in a dream I grew old in your eyes And I've been tryna find you all this time I am a foreigner longing for a home thats mine But I don't speak the language, and I can't read the signs, No I can't read the signs Take this cold heart till it beats again And I will love you like a howling wind Start this fire, watch the embers fall We're just shadows dancing on the wall Dancing on the wall, dancing on the wall We were born with the same crooked smile And nothing held us down, we just passed the time Till we could throw ourselves open to the tide And you put on your makeup and I combed my hair I was so sure that some day soon I'll make you mine But I keep getting older so much older I keep getting older and I can't read the signs Take this cold heart till it beats again And I will love you like a howling wind Start this fire, watch the embers fall We're just shadows dancing on the wall Dancing on the wall, dancing on the wall Take this cold heart till it beats again And I will love you like a howling wind Start this fire, watch the embers fall We're just shadows dancing on the wall Dancing on the wall, dancing on the wall
