Lyrics
Little Deschutes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
it sure is hard to dance across
the room when you've got
one foot on the floor
and one foot outside the door.
I want nothing more
than to dance with you.
the peace i've known, floating along,
the deep green river with you and a song
is something like the peace i hope
to make with you my whole life long.
I want nothing more
than to float with you.
paddling through the hail storm,
clothes ravaged, the leaves all torn,
a part of me was born.
why care about yesterday's haze
when the stars above me are all ablaze?
why care about the coming dawn
when the moon pours now searchlight strong?
I want nothing more
than to dance with you.
I want nothing more
than to float with you.
