Laura Veirs
"Little Dechutes"

It sure is hard
To dance across
The room when you've got
One foot on the floor
And one foot outside the door

I want nothing more
Than to dance with you

The peace I've known
Floating along
The deep green river
With you and a song
Is something like
The peace I hope
To make with you
My whole life long

I want nothing more
Than to float with you

Paddling through the hail storm
Clothes ravaged, the leaves all torn
A part of me was born

Why care about
Yesterday's haze
When the stars above
Are all ablaze?
Why care about
The coming dawn
When the moon pours now
Searchlight strong?

I want nothing more
Than to dance with you
I want nothing more
Than to float with you
