Christiane (Chris) Spruit and I have been writing songs together for more than 10 years now, and we have done more than 100 original songs. Typically I provide the music and Chris writes the lyrics and does the vocals. We have started to remix/master some of our old songs with the aim of releasing a "Best Of" CD at some point, and this is the first. We originally released this in 2018.

From Chris: The song about a private dancer in a bar. The dogs are the pimps, and the cats are the johns on the hunt for love....

In the still of the night, 2018 Christiane Spruit

V1) when the night shines silver
and the dark takes the sky
when the band begins to gather
in the smoke and the light

Come on and dance with me
in the still of the night

V2) while the dogs are sleeping
one eye open wide
in the heat and in the gleaming
lonely cats come alive

Come on and dance with me
in the gleam of the light

Bridge:

they will come
and they will go
some will say I love you
I'd love a gin, a drink on ice
but baby we both know

Solo

V3) we walk the street of money
he's been talking for a while
little children and the struggle
hush now baby, we'll survive

Outro vamp: Come on, hush now, survive

Thanks to those that listen and comment.
