Dancing In Starlight

Dancing In Starlight

You tell me your life is alright
Even in spite of this place
But where are the eyes that I once knew?
Why don't they light up your face?
I know you are not one to wander
You care not to circle the Earth
But to judge by your voice and your manner
You'd settle for less than you're worth

And the creek wants to run to the river
As it would were it not for the dam
And you might be dancing in starlight
Far from this cold empty land

And I've not found the answer to all things
And I haven't yet learned how to fly
And sometimes the sunlight can't find me
And it's all I can do just to try
But I will not be stranded here thinking
Of everything I shoulda done
And I'll let no one build walls around me
I'll let no one shut out the sun

For the creek wants to run to the river
As it would were it not for the dam
And I will strike out for the starlight
With a smile and a wave of the hand

The roads and the cities may scare you
With dangers that play with the mind
But a place where your dreams must keep silent
Is as deadly a place as you'll find
So take care that the wind doesn't fool you
Into hearing a false melody
And look at your face in the water
See if you like what you see

For the creek wants to run to the river
As it would were it not for the dam
And you might be dancing in starlight
Far from this cold empty land

Yeah, the creek wants to roll to the river
And it would were it not for the dam
And you might be dancing in starlight
Far from this cold empty land
