Lyrics

[00:54.54] Met a dancer
[00:57.75] Who was high in a field
[01:01.11] From her movement
[01:04.08] Caught my breath on my way home
[01:10.32] Couldn't stop that expanding force
[01:17.56] I felt in me
[01:19.36] Everything around seemed to giggle glee
[01:24.12] She walked up with a flower and I cared
[01:29.56]
[01:47.67] Got a dancer
[01:50.56] Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms
[01:57.66] But I'm always away for weeks
[02:03.90] That pass slow my
[02:06.83] Mind gets lost
[02:10.50] Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything
[02:17.48] I walk out in the flowers and feel better
[02:23.15]
[02:26.92] If I could just leave my body for the night:
[02:33.12]
[02:49.90] Then we could be dancing
[02:52.79] No more missing you while I'm gone
[03:00.74] There we could be dancing
[03:04.27] And you'd smile and say, "I like this song"
[03:09.04]
[03:12.03] And when our eyes will meet there
[03:16.09] We will recognize nothing's wrong
[03:23.43] And I wouldn't feel so selfish
[03:26.97] I won't be this way very long
[03:32.70]
[03:34.25] To hold you in time
[03:40.15] To hold you in time
[03:46.34] To hold you in time
[03:53.15] To hold you in time
[03:59.07]
[04:11.76] While we were dancing
[04:15.77] Early hours
[04:17.38] Drunken days finally ended
[04:22.87] And the streets turned for a pillowcase
[04:29.10] Then I fumbled our good lock
[04:34.68] Then the ecstasy turns to rising light
[04:39.82] Through our windowpane
[04:41.59] Now I'm gone
[04:43.20] I left flowers for you there
[04:48.92]
