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 in me   Everything around seemed to giggle glee   She walked up with a flower and I cared      Saw the dancer   Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms   But I'm always away for weeks   That pass slow my   Mind gets lost   Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything   I walk out in the flowers and 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
