Dreaming of a Dance
_______________________________________________________________
When I see you dancing when you spin across the floor
I know it's sweet romancing our two hearts are longing for
I could watch you all night until the stars fade into blue
And maybe I'm just dreaming but I'm dreaming of a dance with you

It's the grace in your step the fire in the way you move
And the light in your eyes on which no angel could improve
Though I don't even know you I could spend my whole life through
Dreaming that I'll hold you dreaming of a dance with you

And then in an instant in a moment out of time
I feel my heart pounding as your burning gaze meets mine

(break)

El amor querido que brilla en mi corazon
Me lleva a tu lado al ritmo de la cancion
No mas en mis suenos bailamos en realidad
El amor querido es la unica verdad

As I cross the room now I can feel my senses rise
I can barely speak now as I gaze into your eyes

Did I hear you whisper as you slipped into my arms
The promise of a kiss dear as I feel your touch, your tender charms
Suddenly the room is empty and we're dancing just we two
And I know I'm not just dreaming now dreaming of a dance with you
I Need a Hurricane
_______________________________________________________________
I need a hurricane to blow the roof off of this life
I need a tidal wave to sweep the cobwebs from my eyes
I need a driving rain to wash the dust off of my heart
I need a hurricane to tear everything apart
I need a hurricane

I need a lightnin' bolt to strike me in my tracks
I need a clap of thunder to knock me on my back
I need a big voodoo to drive the sense out of my brain
Smash out all my windows, leave me open to the rain
I need a hurricane

I been sittin' waitin' for the axe to fall
Now I'm painted in the corner starin' at the wall
I need a hurricane

I need a big earthquake to shake the footings of my soul
Knock me off of my foundations, crack the walls and break the mold
I need a sea to crash right in and wash away this pain
I need a blinding ray of light to make me see again
I need a hurricane
Out of the Mud
_______________________________________________________________
Well she's up to the axels and she don't want to roll
The rain's pourin' down and the sky's black as coal
The motor is stallin' like it's drowned in the flood
And here I am tryin' to pull it out of the mud

I need miraculous action or the angels' tire jack
'Cause when I think I got traction I just keep slippin' back
I keep wadin' and strugglin' 'til my body sweats blood
Lord I need a lift just to git it out of the mud

Well I was headed for Memphis up from New Orleans
When this storm blew in from the old Gulf Stream
I was thinkin' 'bout Beale Street and makin' that scene
But maybe I was just goin' there in my dreams

Lord make me strong as Godzilla, give me Superman's might
'Cause now I feel like I just got a dose of Kryptonite
And my super persona it went down with a thud
Now like a fool I'm tryin' to pull it out of the mud

I thought you and me baby we had a licence to fly
'Cause just this mornin' there was sunlight in your eyes
Was it my imagination that things were goin' our way
"Cause now the whole world's painted brown and gray

Well we're up to the axels and she don't want to roll
And no Bible Belt preacher's gonna' save my soul
Nobody does it for you, it's your own sweat and blood
Nobody else gonna' pull me out of the mud
Just a Kind of Madness
_______________________________________________________________
Walkin' on the street on a moonlit evening
When I felt you touch my hand
When I heard you laugh and I saw your smile
Felt like I'd been visitin' the Reefer Man
Into a small cafe with the people dancing
I was taken by your charms
Felt my poor heart sway to your mad romancing
As you slipped into my arms

Well it's just a kind of madness
Felt it when I held you close to me
Just a kind of madness
Just the kind of madness that'll set you free

Some may call it lust or infatuation
Maybe it's just fallin' in love
But when our bodies touched ah that sweet sensation
Sent us to the stars above
One minute you'll be standin' and the next you're fallin'
Fallin' but it feels so right
Makes you feel like dancin' that horizontile mambo
And you do it all day and night

Well it's just a kind of madness
Darlin' I felt it when we kissed
Just a kind of madness
Just the kind of madness that you can't resist

Just a kind of madness
The kind to send us out of control
Just a kind of madness
Just the kind of madness that'll save your soul
Git Along
_______________________________________________________________
I'm pretty sure I can get along with you darlin'
If I can get along with myself
'Cause my own head has given me more grief
Than I'd ever take from anyone else
I been carryin' this weight on my shoulders
And singin' a sorrowful song
Want to be on your side honey I've just tried to get along

Get along, there's gotta be a way to get along
Like the cowboys say, git along or git on your way
Now all I'm tryin' to do is just git along
'Cause we both know enough to tell right from wrong

Well a wrangler out ridin' he called to his steers
You better quit your discontented moan
'Cause we're hittin' the trail come the spring of the year
And little dogies you won't have no home
But you know we're all in this together
So even if you think its wrong
There's nothin' to do but for me and you to git along

Git along, there's gotta be a way to git along
Like the cowboys say, git along or git on your way
Now all I'm tryin' to do is just git along

Now this old life it can be just like heaven
Or it can be like time in jail
I'd sure hate to look back and say we spoiled the ride
When we get to the end of the trail
But that open range can be so lonesome
And right here is where we belong
Ridin' side by side if we can just decide to git along

Git along, there's gotta be a way to git along
Like the cowboys say, get along or get on your way
'Cause we both know enough to tell right from wrong
Git along, there's gotta be a way to git along
Like the cowboys say, get along or get on your way
Now all I'm tryin' to do is just git along

Crazy Beautiful Dance
_______________________________________________________________
We take two steps forward and then one step back
Maybe different directions but we're on the same track
And if we're not prefect well that's just how it goes
Baby I'll try not to step on your toes


Try again, fail again, fail better
But you get nowhere if you won't take the chance
We'll get it right though it might take us forever we will learn
This crazy beautiful dance
This crazy dance that we dance


Well it's not all that simple and we might have our doubts
But if you're lookin for easy you might sit your life out
Got my foot in my mouth you got egg on your face
But come the next tune we could fall into place


Try again, fail again, fail better
But you get nowhere if you won't take the chance
We'll get it right though it might take us forever we will learn
This crazy beautiful dance
Beautiful dance that we dance
This crazy dance that we dance
