Derek Webb lyrics - Dance

album: The House Show (2004)
genre:

My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi 
But this is where I live here in this old folks' dormitory 
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us 
And she plays that old upright 
But Sarah always seems to leave us 

When she plays something comes over me 
Goes from my head all the way to my feet 

And I wanna dance 
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance 
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 
All night, I wanna dance 
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears 
And one day I'm gonna dance my way right outta here 

I had three girls and a boy but now one's gone up to Heaven 
She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin 
The older that I get I figure everyone is dying 
They're all dying for a change 
I know I'm dying for some action 

But days like these Sunday seems so far away 
So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I�ll stay 

I wanna dance 
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance 
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 
All night, I wanna dance 
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears 
And one day I'm gonna dance my way right outta here 

I'd marry you, if you could dance, that's what I said 
'Cause where I'm going there'll be dancing everyday
