Come Dance With Me Songtext
von The Eastern

She had a phrase for when she was angry
When the kids they wouldn′t understand
She said, "I'll see you next Tuesday"
The subtext read, "Maybe then you′ll be a better man"
He always found it hard to listen
Unless he was listening to himself
He'd regale her about his own needs
And his quest for spiritual health
She was good at hearing and seeing what needed to be said
That a little faith is stronger than any man
He could never get that through the thoughts within his head
It was a way of being he could never understand

She said, "I'm not asking much of you
It′s not that big a thing, don′t you see?
Just now and again take your arms and put them around my waist
Whisper in my ear, 'Come dance with me′
Just now and again take your arms and put them around my waist
Whisper in my ear, 'Come dance with me′"


She leaned against the window
Mascara catching a slipping tear
She said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you
And let you sit and drink that lonely beer"
You could see it in her bearing
She was getting close to just giving in
To be done with all this caring
And the feeling of being wounded whenever she thought of him
She said, "I think someone is stealing from me
They cast a shadow on my life
And who would have thought another word for burden
Is being that man′s wife?"

She said, "I'm not asking much of you
It's not that big a thing, don′t you see?
Just now and again take your arms and put them around my waist
Whisper in my ear, ′Come dance with me'
I′m not asking much of you
It's not that big a thing, don′t you see?
Just now and again take your arms, put them around my waist
Whisper in my ear, 'Come dance with me′
Whisper in my ear, 'Come dance with me'
