Tom Paxton - Dance In The Shadows lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Dance In The Shadows lyrics]
Back in the trees
Where I learned to say "Please"
Where I begged for a taste from the table
She made me know there was need to go slow
When she taught me to dance in the shadows
Where were my hands that
Were mine to command?
Now they seemed to be somewhere in China
She brought them back
God bless her for that!
When she taught me to dance in the shadows
Oh, she could have laughed at me oh
She could have left me for dead
What did I know? Less than nothing so
I listened and did as she said
And back in the grass I heard the moon pass
I listened to stars spreading rumours
With dawn coming fast, I murmured "At last"
"she had taught me to dance in the shadows"
Where I learned to say "Please"
Where I begged for a taste from the table
She made me know there was need to go slow
When she taught me to dance in the shadows
Where were my hands that
Were mine to command?
Now they seemed to be somewhere in China
She brought them back
God bless her for that!
When she taught me to dance in the shadows
Oh, she could have laughed at me oh
She could have left me for dead
What did I know? Less than nothing so
I listened and did as she said
And back in the grass I heard the moon pass
I listened to stars spreading rumours
With dawn coming fast, I murmured "At last"
"she had taught me to dance in the shadows"
