Lyrics

Only a Dancer
(lente 3/4 time, © Sept. 10/92, Rick Moody)

Chorus:
A
Only a dancer
A/G
With two ancient legs
A/F# E
But she'll be a dancer again
A
She danced for the Czar
A/G
on a night full of stars (or Acabar)
A/F# E
For his ladies and court gentlemen

Verse 1:
D
Well time passes slowly
A
And flowers can age
D E
Their petals soon wither and fade
D
But cold in the ground
A
Hard as glass withered brown
D E
The seeds of the future remain

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2:
D
The moonlight entrancing
A
The trees rustled soft
D E
The wind in her hair as she twirls
D
Their eyes full of wonder
A
She soars on a song
D E
So silently graceful a swan

Repeat Chorus
