Dancing Lyrics

My heart went out to Jeffrey

It bled dry in its returning

Through the years all I've known is the knowing

That this heart is only my own



The sound of it came crashing

But so silent to your musical ears

No, you'll never the know the difference between you and the rest

Until the safety of all these years



We'd be grey and old

I would knit you sweaters in the cold

And we'd be just like my grandparents

When they go dancing

When they go dancing



When you left that evening sober

The rain poured down on my dry feet

So long to the city lights

And hello to the country's slow breeze



As is part of the landscape

And as the palm of the hand

There are some features which claim so local

To this feeling inside my body



We'd be grey and old

I would knit you sweaters in the cold

And we'd be just like my grandparents

When they go dancing

When they go dancing



Time, time, time will change

All else just stays the same

With your flame and your wooden sticks

I'm a rambler to meet you half way



We'd be grey and old

I would knit you sweaters in the cold

And we'd be just like my grandparents

When they go dancing

When they go dancing



And if I could only see that day you were mine

I would take this chance, this blessing

And be the only thing I know to be

And if I could only see that day you were mine

I would take this chance, this blessing

And be the only thing I know to be

I know to be



We'd be grey and old

I would knit you sweaters in the cold

And we'd be just like my grandparents

When they go dancing

When they go dancing
