('Dancer')

Met a dancer
who was high in a field
from her movement
Caught my breath on my way home
couldn't stop that spinning force
I felt envy everything around seemed to giggle glee
she walked up with a flower in her hair

Got a dancer
who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms
But i'm always away for weeks
that pass slow my mind gets lost
Feelin envy for the kid who danced just by anything
or while out(?) in the flowers i feel better

If I could just leave my body for the night

Then we could be dancing
No more missing you while I'm gone
There we could be dancing
And you'd smile and say "I like this song"
And when our eyes will meet there
We will recognize nothing's wrong
And i wouldn't feel so selfish
I won't be this way very long

To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time

While we were dancing
Early hours, drunken days finally ended
And the streets turned for a pillowcase
Then I fumbled our good lock
then the ecstasy turns to rising light
Through our windowpane
Now i'm gone i left flowers for you there

Shhh
You're a dancer
I'm a dancer




Older Version

A dancer who got high in a field found a moment
Took a breath on his way home
He saw trees that rotted north
He felt envy for the little kinds of heavens
He hoped his girl would have flowers in her hair

And the dancer who got hired 'cause his feet had good rhythm
Found himself away for weeks
That passed slower than a sloth
On the grill he cooked his heart in orange embers
He hoped his girl still had flowers in her hair

He said, "Sometimes I guess I'll have to miss my wife"

Am I the little dancer who is missing you while you're gone
And am I the funny dancer who is singing this funny song
Does the dancer look at me and does he recognize all his wrongs
Do I write about myself because I won't be this way very long

To hold you in time

And the dancer who came home from his field felt kinda awkward
He felt happy, he couldn't wait
He burst open that good lock
He felt ecstasy and little pins of heat
He saw his girl still had flowers in her hair
