I wrote this to contribute to a collaborative songwriting effort, but it was considered not a good fit for what a celebrity artist sought, so the others thought I should just keep it as my own, so I did and here it is as it evolved to its finish...Rick

5/

Em. F. Em
We dance alone in a pouring rain
F Em
You twist, spin around like a hurricane
F
I stand here wandering without a clue
Em
We dance together
F. Em
Two points of view

G D Em
We dance alone in a pouring rain (CHORUS)
G D Em
We dance alone pushed along by the wind
G D Em
We dance alone in the pouring rain
G D. Em
We'll be together until we reach land's end

F. Em
No Solo you (REFRAIN)
F Em
No Solo me
F
No solo you or me

Em F
They say love's transactional
Em
like it's a fact
F
One gives and takes
Em
what the other lacks
F
along this isle, this isle of view
Em
Hand in hand
F. Em
forever true

Hand in hand
F. Em
our days too few


G D Em
We dance alone in a pouring rain (CHORUS)
G D Em
We dance alone pushed along by the wind
G D Em
We dance alone in the pouring rain
G D. Em
We'll be together until we reach land's end


F. Em
No Solo you (REFRAIN)
F Em
No Solo me
F
No solo you or me


(Instrumental Break)

Em. F Em
We'll ride the crests of this raging sea
F
Step-by-step
Em
just you and me
F
And in the end, we'll touch the sand
Em
We'll dance alone
F. Em
Dancing hand in hand

G D Em
Along this isle, our isle of view (CHORUS)
G. D
Hand in hand
Em
forever true
G D
Hand in hand
Em
Our days too few
G. D
Hand in hand
Em
Just we two

F. Em
No Solo you (REFRAIN)
F Em
No Solo me
F
No solo you or me

G D Em
We'll ride the crests of this raging sea (CHORUS)
G. D
Step-by-step
Em
just you and me
G D Em
And in the end, we'll touch the sand
G D
We'll dance alone
Em
Dancing hand in hand
F. Em F. Em F. Em
(No solo you........No solo me ....No solo you or me) - not sung
