Time Of The Dance - Live 1992
This next song is a song that I wrote, uh
Um, in the beginning of the
No actually, the middle of this winter
Um, this past winter, it was a long, cold, hard winter
And, uh, it's a song that I wrote about being married
There's really not a better time to write about being married
It's called The Time Of The Dance
She could hear those words of her mama still
The talk of the ways and the always will bes
She'd laugh at the time and pretend to be free
But she'd never run far from the legacy
She's trying the wind like the crack of a whip
She places her fingertips up to her lips
And she thinks of a feeling, she can't quite recall
And a few days when she'd been ahead of it all
When she stepped past the clocks
Stepped high and wide
Strong and true to the other side
Kicking away all the mud from her heels
To the time of the dance
To the second chance
To the dust and the hours passed under the wheels
Oh, she stepped to the time of the dance
She says sometimes being a husband and wife
Can feel like a fight against natural life
And that there is no bigger chain on your soul
And you're always dancing out in the cold
Sometimes the light hits the side of his face
And it fills up your heart like a soft embrace
She knows that the struggle is more than a day
And more than the words that her mama could say
Well, they step past the clocks
Step high and wide
Strong and true to the other side
Kicking away all the mud from their heels
To the time of the time
To the second chance
To the dust and the hours passed under the wheels
Oh, she stepped to the time of the dance
She said to turn off the TV and hush all the sound
'Till all you can hear is the rain
Now they step out the doorway and let the rain fall down
And I feel all the life rushing back through our veins
Oh, we'll step past the clocks
Step high and wide
Strong and true to the other side
Kicking away all the mud from ourr heels
To the time of the dance
To the second chance
To the dust and the hours passed under the wheels
We'll step to the time of the dance
Oh, we'll step to the time of the dance
Um, in the beginning of the
No actually, the middle of this winter
Um, this past winter, it was a long, cold, hard winter
And, uh, it's a song that I wrote about being married
There's really not a better time to write about being married
