Petra Berger - The Girl Looking Into Me

 

 

Evening fades,and she's lost in a reverie,

applying a dancer's face,t

he girl looking into me.

Appearingcenterstage,

she's a midnight celebrity,

performing with tempting grace,

still shrouded in mystery ....

No one knows,what she's sacrificed,

what she islooking for,the girl with the liquid eyes ....

She's lonely, butnot alone,in her web of lies,

her life isnot her own,till the legend has gone ....

Dance all night,art of passion and poetry,

your fame will be shining bright,live on through eternity ....

and come the morning light,

you'll be dancing the night away,

your name be forever tied,to the image of Salomé ....

choir : for the girl looking into me,

she's dancing her life away.....

No one knows,was she sacrificed ;

what theywere blaming on,

the girl with the liquid eyes ....

She's carried theguilt alone,

through a web of lies, abandonedand on her own,

when the music had gone ....

Dance all night,art of passion and poetry,

your fame will be shining bright,

live on through eternity ....

and come the morning light,

you'll be dancing the night away,

your name be forever tied,to the image of Salomé ....
