Midge Ure has stated the song is inspired by On The Beach a book about Australians waiting the fallout from the nuclear war that happened on the rest of the globe to come to them. “They knew it was the end but they had time to think about how they wanted to choose their final moments”
[Chorus]
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
[Verse 1]
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
[Chorus]
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
[Verse 2]
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favorite song
Over and over
[Chorus]
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
[Bridge]
It's time and we're in each others arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
