lyrics

dancing with ghosts

no telephone poles, no towers, no lines
just the weeds by the side of the road and a pale blue sky
no hungry mouth, no promise or lie
just a town at the edge of the road, just a wish and a sigh

dancing with ghosts
i'm standing behind you, but i'm so far away
dancing with ghosts
i'm walking beside you, but i am walking away

on a winter night in a mowed down field
stands a deer, staring down the light
she's just like me in this winter kill
waiting so still, almost invisible

dancing with ghosts
i'm standing behind you, but i'm so far away
dancing with ghosts
i'm walking beside you, but i am walking away

time moves so slow when you're cold and sad
dreams shy away so fast when you're lonely
of everything you told me the worst thing you said
was that you would love me only

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.
