Slow Tango Lyrics - Jane Siberry

On the sixth day 

When the word came 

We began our journey 

We would not break the promise 

Lonely, hasten to the shoreline 

Just in time to see them sail away 

All the times when we lay sleepless 

And the weather made no sense 

Challenge your hands 

To capture these landscapes 

Holy days, landscapes 

Of dunes and red skies 

There is only one horizon 

Rolling thunder this wilderness 

So lonely tangled up forever 

Hold me for a while 

My love, I can hardly hear you 

Heal me, feel my love 

So I find your breast against mine 

Is this the slow tango 

I have no regrets, my love 

I let you press 

I forget the rest 

But I feel it like the rushing dove 

That beats against the hands of time 

With pounding heart again 

Is this the slow tango? 

I have no regrets, my love
