Backstage With The Modern Dancers |
Backstage with the modern dancers |
She was stretching her arms, |
Configuring her body. |
While they were breathing, they were shouting. |
She was concentrating on her breathing |
And didn’t seem to mind, |
As I sat there on the couch, |
And tuned my guitar, |
And played a few chords |
Like roses growing their thorns. |
Getting ready to perform |
With bare feet and painted faces, |
They took their places, |
On shivering legs beneath colourful gowns. |
And out there on the wooden floors, |
The sweat from their pores. |
I’m writing a list |
Of songs I can sing by myself. |
Backstage with the modern dancers, |
Who feel it, like I do. |
Like I feel it, like I feel it. |
Backstage with the modern dancers, |
Getting ready to go on, |
She showed me her spin, |
With a beauty lit from within. |
And all of these things, |
I don’t think they should be released |
