Lyrics
Dance With Me, Dakini
Who are you who lets me see
who you are and who you are to me?
Who am I? Who do you see
when you look deep and clear and straight through me?
How do you so softly hold my dreams in your reality?
How can it be, when you're with me, I live and love and dance so free?
CHORUS 1
Dance with me, dakini, test my tiptoes on the edge.
Fly or fall, our hearts and souls are forever wed.
Shine eternal light on these delights of bed and bread
that pass in sweet rememberings and poems left unsaid.
END OF CHORUS 1
How many burdens can one man take
before he has to give 'em all away?.
How many parts can one man fake
before he sheds old skins and lives to love and play and pray?
How many dreams are born, how many fade away each day?
How lost would be my mind if I didn't leave it behind sometimes
to dance with you this way.
CHORUS 2
Dance with me, dakini, test my tiptoes on the edge.
Fly or fall, our hearts and souls are forever wed.
Shine eternal light through days and nights that spin my head,
let 'em pass in sweet rememberings and desperate paths untread..
END OF CHORUS 2
Gettin' by day to day, week to week, worried 'bout my little girl.
She says don't worry dad, I'm grown up now, and I love ya, but I'm worried 'bout the whole wide world.
Flashback to the sixties, or maybe it's this daddy-daughter trance,
but if I'm gonna help change this world for my little girl, I'm gonna have to dance.
CHORUS 3
Dance with me, dakini, test my tiptoes on the edge.
Fly or fall, our hearts and souls are forever wed.
Shine eternal light on generations not born yet.
let 'em pass in sweet rememberings and no needs left unmet.
END OF CHORUS 3
How many floors will we dance upon in our short time in this skin?
How many girls and boys will be born and be confused 'bout who to be in this world we're in?
How many will set their spirits free to love and live in peace?
How many will see what you show me when we're dancing timelessly?
REPEAT CHORUS 1
REPEAT VERSE 1
