Emmylou Harris - For A Dancer lyrics

Keep a fire burnin' in your eyes Pay attention to the open skies Yuo never know what will he coming down I don t remember losing track of you You were always dancing in and out of view I must have thought you would always he around Always keeping things real by playin' the clown Now you're nowhere to be found I don't know what happens when people die Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear But I can't sing, I can't help listening I can't help feeling stupid, standing around Crying is the easier down 'Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing Dancin' our sorrow away No matter what fate throws in your way Just do the steps that you've been shown By everyone you've ever known Until the dance becomes your very own No matter how close to yours Another's steps have grown In the end there is one dance you'll do alone Keep a fire for the human race Let your prayers go drifting into space You never know what will he coming down Perhaps a better world is drawing near Just as easy it could all disappear Along with whatever meaning you might have found Don't let the uncertainty turn you around Go on and I make a joyful sound Into a dancer you have grown From a seed somebody else has thrown Go on ahead and thrown some seeds of your own And somewhere between the time you arrive And the time you go May lie a reason you were alive But you'll never know
