Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won't come
Just as I begin to fade

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
Doin' the tango in the night
Tango

I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango

    The theme seem to be similar to ''Big Love'' - both songs focus on feeling lonely when being home alone, after losing (or refusing?) his ex-girlfriend and being in need for intimicacy / sex: ''I wake up with all that'' and ''tango'' being a passionate dance of two lovers.

    I love both songs dearly but it's so f*cking sad.
