I Can Dance this Song

Wine distill me
moisten my day
to steam around me
in somnolent play.

The ocean clasps
the shore line feet
that jump the froth
and dance the beat.

I can dance this song
I can feel the strum
sweet full moon
in spin along.

Sweet guitar stills me
taut strings weight
fingers pull the sound
from heaven’s gate.

Oh crease this sheet
in rhythms strong
touch my sorrow
sing my song.

I can dance this song
I can feel the strum
sweet full moon
in spin along.

Morning comes
I hear the cry
be still now baby
and let me fly.

I loved this:

Morning comes
I hear the cry
be still now baby
and let me fly.
