Lyrics:

I saw the curtain move
I saw the hand that pulled the shade
And in a moment the lights went out
And a radio began to play

And I crossed the empty street
With the window in my view
But I couldn't see through
To watch them dance in the darkness

Then round the corner
Came this old man's shuffling feet
And I bummed him for a cigarette
And he hands the whole damn pack to me

And he said, 'I've watched you for the last six nights
And brother why do you want to bleed?
I guess you just can't shake the need
To watch them dance in the darkness'

Up there an angel's falling
Up there can't you hear him calling out her name
Can you feel them touch?
Can you hear them breathe?

Up there time ain't moving
Up there no one's losing any sleep
For fools like us, two fools like us
Down here on the street

I said, 'Wait a minute mister
Man, you just don't understand
She was everything I ever wanted'
And the old man, he just held out his hand

And said, 'Welcome to the one place
No one ever wants to be
Where even in your dreams
You watch them dance in the darkness'

Up there an angel's falling
Up there can't you hear them calling out her name
Can you feel them touch?
Can you hear them breathe?

Up there time ain't moving
Up there no one's losing any sleep
For fools like us, to fools like us
Down here on the street
