Two-Way Waltz

You're a quicksilver lady
A child of the morning
A flower by day
A slow fire by night

And he's taught you things
For all that you've shown him
He's a gazer of stars
A blue crystal light

And sometimes he cries
And he says things
That pierce you to your soul
But he's still a man who loves you
And it hurts to let you go

You're a man with the power
Of rattlesnake lightening
Hard like the mountains
But soft like the sun

And she's taught you things
For all that you've shown her
She's a weaver of visions
In threads finely spun

And sometimes she cries
And she walks away
Held by the dreams that find her
But she's still a woman who loves you
And her heart will always remind her

So, dance for the day
But watch for the signs
That point out your way
When the dust fills your eyes
And try to believe
That the sweetest hello
Always comes after
The hardest goodbye

For two ways can sometimes make one
That's stronger than either alone
So, dancers join hands
For the two-way waltz
But take the steps on your own

For two ways can sometimes make one
Yes, that's stronger than either alone
So, dancers join hands
For the two-way waltz
But take all the steps on your own
