Billy and I collaborated on this many moons ago, but were never able to corral a suitable vocalist. Then along came Karen... :)

Dancing On Bleeding Feet

(v1)
It was madness when our stars aligned
The planets have much to explain
The gypsy in me could have read the signs
But loneliness made me insane

Chorus
Oh, now I'm trapped between hope and despair
In a struggle that's bittersweet
On the razor's edge of love
Dancing on bleeding feet

(v2)
Should have known the heavens would conspire
To throw in a challenge or two
Pouring promises onto the fire
To fuel this burning for you

Chorus
Oh, now I'm trapped between hope and despair
In a struggle that's bittersweet
On the razor's edge of love
Dancing on bleeding feet

Bridge
You laugh to yourself when you think I can't see
You're think I've not noticed the joke is on me

Chorus
Now I'm trapped between hope and despair
In a struggle that's bittersweet
On the razor's edge of love
Dancing on bleeding feet
...
Now I'm trapped between hope and despair
In a struggle that's bittersweet
I'm on the razor's edge of love
Dancing on bleeding feet

Hey Donna,

Another consummate write and production!!

Very polished performance and mix with really super vocals.

Billy once again shows his mastery over different styles of music.

And kudos to you Donna, for being open to experimentation with various genres of music!!

Cheers

Andy, Ian, Jay, Paul, Bill, Steffen, and CD, thank you for listening and for your kind words.  :)

Definitely, Billy's musical interpretations are in a class of their own, and it was well worth the wait until Karen and her fine voice came along.  ;)
