lyrics

Dancing
©2002 Alice Bierhorst

She's hovering
On the edge of the world
We're all talking too loud
She sways on our laughter
She's getting to be a pro
At looking busy in the void
Nobody knows what she's after
If we blink will she be here

CHORUS
Nobody knows where she starts and finishes
Or if she just keeps going on and on
Nobody thought to ask her was she happy here
We'll just keep on DANCING after she's gone

She's getting drunk
Looking down her nose
Not out of arrogance
But to hide what she knows
Everybody does a double take
Did the air just change
Somebody made her exit
And nobody caught her name

CHORUS

Not one of us lives forever
We're just borrowing these clothes
If we wake up on the other side
Nobody really knows
We're all just getting our feet wet
Next time we'll take the plunge
If there is no next time
At least we did this much

CHORUS
