Dancing's why she came

Edges 6 April, 2006

It's all right there behind me
what I left before I went
Promises too slippery
to break, or even bend
I have never been much better
than I ever had the right
to be born again out in the morning light

Lord knows what a difference
that a few degrees can make
Your soul melts down into your shoes
as your reasons slip away
I can walk you home past midnight
I can walk that line alright
The heat it makes a love that lasts all night

Colors dancing swirling on the sun
Devil's taunted me since time begun
Gun in my back pocket.
Rose, she never knew no blame.
Dancin' twirlin' gypsy in the rain

Colors dancing swirling on the sun
Hot as sin again out on the run
The Devil called me out, I know
That Rose, she knew no blame
Dancin' like she came for just the same.

There's been a mask I've worn
Since I could say my name
With a smile that'll drop you where you stand
but it ain't nothing more than paint
I ain't never been forgiving
I ain't never been the type
to be holding when the morning breaks it's light

I think I've had me 'bout enough
of this hard, hard living stuff
Think I might just pick a Rose
and settle down
Like a gypsy, has her moments
Like a gypsy,has her edges
Like a gypsy, makes a love that steals the night

Colors dancing swirling on the sun
Nothing for me but trouble since I begun
With a gun in my back pocket
Rose, she never knew no blame
Dancing. Spinning in the summer's rain.

Colors dancing swirling on the sun
The devil grinning at me everywhere I turn
Mercy! I'm on fire tonight
Rose, she never felt so right
Dancing because dancing's why she came

Dancing
because dancing's why she came
