Song Lyrics

Whispered words
Secret old
Whispering words

I gave you my answer
On the stepping ground
I gave you my answer
In the days of the dancing

Whispered words
Eagle stare not a care
Worlds apart out of tune
With souls laid bare
Then the music stops

I gave you my answer
On the stepping ground
I gave you my answer
In the days of the dancing
In the days of the dancing

Sheltered hearts
Beat in time
Never more certain
Shattered dreams
Flood of tears
The final curtain
Then the music starts

Here comes the night
Worlds apart
Step in time
With hearts on fire
Whispered words
Laughing eyes
So long my valentine
Dim the dance hall lights

I gave you my answer
On the stepping ground
I gave you my answer
In the days of the dancing
In the days of the dancing

Moya Brennan, Timothy John Jarvis
