Lyrics

Panther Dance

Sleek and attractive, autumn coat of brown
The leaves are changing color as she moves into his town
Don't know if he wonders what she's doing now
She just moves with her own purpose: he?ll find her out somehow.
Though the miles may come between them
Though he's married and she's not
He has children, she has projects
She'll slip out of any knot.
Into this space and time existence comes passionate romance
His attention surrounds her; she does a Panther Dance

Sleek and attractive, a presence hard to miss
He is like a schoolboy overcome by bliss
Forgetting obligations, he uproots his life
Spilling rapture to his friends, saying nothing to his wife.
Both in awe and admiration, she lets him carry on
Becoming his obsession, his soothing panther song
Into this space and time existence comes passionate romance
As his rapture rumbles onward, she does a Panther Dance.

Sleek and attractive, giving him her smile
She makes his mornings glisten, makes his life worthwhile
Abandoning his moorings, he sets sail for her
Out on the horizon, he can hear her purr.
Every sailor has a story when he comes back from the sea
How he rode the open waves, spurred on by mystery
Into this space and time existence comes passionate romance
His long day's journey over,
She does a Panther Dance.
