Terry Allen - The Thirty Years Waltz (For Jo Harvey) lyrics
[Terry Allen - The Thirty Years Waltz For Jo Harvey lyrics]
I remember standing
All scrubbed down and clean tapping my foot
By the record machine
An I was watching you dancing
Watching you prancing watching you glancing
At meso i took my first chance
And I asked you to dance
And we touched the first time
With a song flying by
And when the blue of your eyes
Met my blues down inside
Well I knewthat we twocould fly through
Thirty years of confusions and change
Thirty years of the stress and the strain
Thirty years to be accused and to blame
Ahhh thirty years that don't mean a thing
When you put them beside
Them good songs we sang so
Now I'm standing but roughed up and mean
Kicking my boots at the record machine
Til I remember the dances
Remember the chances remember you glancing
At meso i just brush off my pants
And I ask you to dance
And we touch once again with
The song flying home
And that smile all your own
Still beats all I've ever known
So I laughand I moan
'Cause we two have flown through
Thirty years of the storms and the rains
Thirty years of the fears and the pains
Thirty years of the wars and the games ahhh
Thirty years that don't mean a thing
When you put them beside
Them good songs we sang
All scrubbed down and clean tapping my foot
By the record machine
An I was watching you dancing
Watching you prancing watching you glancing
At meso i took my first chance
And I asked you to dance
And we touched the first time
With a song flying by
And when the blue of your eyes
Met my blues down inside
Well I knewthat we twocould fly through
Thirty years of confusions and change
Thirty years of the stress and the strain
Thirty years to be accused and to blame
Ahhh thirty years that don't mean a thing
When you put them beside
Them good songs we sang so
Now I'm standing but roughed up and mean
Kicking my boots at the record machine
Til I remember the dances
Remember the chances remember you glancing
At meso i just brush off my pants
And I ask you to dance
And we touch once again with
The song flying home
And that smile all your own
Still beats all I've ever known
So I laughand I moan
'Cause we two have flown through
Thirty years of the storms and the rains
Thirty years of the fears and the pains
Thirty years of the wars and the games ahhh
Thirty years that don't mean a thing
When you put them beside
Them good songs we sang
