They come to dance  
Cos the leaves are falling 
Autumn in their hearts 
In other lonely arms  
They no longer feel apart  

They come to dance 
To ease the darkness  
Winter here too soon 
Love is heating up the room 
Like promises in bloom  

They come to dance 
And the music surges 
Hear the melody and romance blend
Creating not love but mere illusions 
The band and the hall but a means to an end 

They come to dance  
So also did she  
Convinced of a lie  
Tired of turning aside 
I could see it in her smile 

They come to dance 
When there’s rain on the street  
Summer dead and gone 
Some raise their defences 
And miss the point of the song 

They come to dance 
And the music surges 
Hear the melody and romance blend 
Creating not love but mere illusions 
The band and the hall but a means to an end 

They come to dance   / Cos the leaves are falling  
Autumn in their hearts   / In other lonely arms 
They no longer feel apart 

They come to dance  / To ease the darkness  
Winter here too soon  / Love is heating up the room 
Like promises in bloom

This song was inspired by the 2006 Xavier Giannoli film “Quand j’etais chanteur” (The Singer), starring Gérard Depardieu and Cécile de France. Depardieu plays Alain Moreau, an aging performer who sings for one of the few remaining dance-bands in Clermont-Ferrand. Though something of an idol amongst his female audience, he has a melancholic awareness of the slow disappearance of that audience and of his advancing years.
