Dance Lyrics
My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
But this is where i live here in this old folk's dormitory
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
And she plays that old upright
But Sarah always seems to leave us
When she plays something comes over me
Goes from my head all the way to my feet
And i wanna dance
i wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All right, I wanna dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears
And one day i'm gonna dance my way right outta here
I had three girls and a boy but now one's gone up to Heaven
She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin
The older that i get i figure everyone is dying
They're all dying for a change
I know I'm dying for some action
But days like these Sunday seems so far away
So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here i'll stay
This song....wow.. This song makes me feel like I could conquer the world... When we dance..we are our happiest,despite the bad things that have happened to us.. this song is amazing and meaninful and beautiful and wonderful..and everything i wish i could feel all the time!!
bleah
bleah yourself.. why don't you like it? give some insight, not a noise.
I love this song. I hope I will dance all my life like the woman in the song. The sounds and the message blend so well here; it takes me to another place...
the woman in the song is derek webb's grandmother and after visiting with her he was inspired to write this song...he said he tried to keep it in her words as much as possible. i think he talks about it on his album "the house show" but i may be mistaken.
I think it's cute that 2 of the people who replied to this song are named Sarah. :*)
"Every Sunday night, you know that Sarah comes to see us..."
