Dance Between You
Some years ago, we were asked to perform in a wedding ceremony. The bride-to-be gave me a copy of Khalil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’ and asked me to write a song based on the section, ‘On Marriage’. This piece is the result. My oldest son, Tommy, is doing the guitar work. His younger brother, Zedidiah, shot a great time-lapse video and used the first verse of the song as accompaniment. A wonderful experience, art and music, collaborating with my sons.
Dance Between You
You have come together
and together you shall be forever more
You will be together
when the wings of death
come knocking at your door
Together in the silence,
even in the memory of God
Yes, even in the silent, sweet silent,
memory of God
Know there must be spaces
for true love to be true
and let the winds of the heavens
dance between you, dance between you
Don't make a bond of love;
the chains of love are frozen,
hard, and cold
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores,
the soft shores of your souls
Fill each other's cup of life
but drink not from one cup -
you must befree
Give one another of your bread;
eat not from the same loaf -
you must be free
Know there must be spaces
for true love to be true
and let the winds of the heavens
dance between you, dance between you
Sing and dance together;
be joyous but let each of you be alone
As guitar strings quiver
with the same music,
each sings on its own
Give your hearts not only
as husband and wife
for who can hold such hearts;
only the hand of life,
only the hand of life
The pillars of the temple stand far apart
and you must stand together
together yet apart, together yet apart
The oak and the cypress grow
but not in one another's shadow
and so, the two of you must grow
but not in one another's shadow,
not in one another's shadow
Know there must be spaces
for true love to be true
and let the winds of the heavens
dance between you, dance between you
Yes, let the winds of the heavens
dance between you, dance between you
dance between you, dance
