Lyrics
I watched you working that room
You were a vision in white.
Desire of every red blooded man
The ire of every grand ballroom bride.
I felt you slip through my fingers
Watched you on the edge of the night
Walk into the arms of forgiveness
on the border line of darkness & light.
(chorous) So baby take that look of your face.
Stop thinking about the wrong &the wright
Meet me down at the brigalow tonight.
(middle8) you wear your life in the lines on your face a study in motion.
There was a time when to mention your name would render me broken.
So take a look at me baby
caught between the truth & the lies
wash away the stain of forgiveness
meet me in between the dark & the light.
So walk into the arms of forgiveness
want to hear it from your lips we both matter tonight.
meet me down at the brigalow tonight.
