Bruce Cockburn I Wanna Dance With You Lyrics

I Wanna Dance With You Lyrics

Languid mandala of the ceiling fan

moving air like a slow stroking hand

music drifts in like the embassy

of afternoons sullen sensuality

i wanna dance with you 



African voices in an opium dream

magenta waves on a sea of bluegreen

i wanna dance with you til the sky
gets clear

dance til the calluses fall off my ears

i wanna dance
with you 



Hours get shorter as the days go by

you never get
to stop and open your eyes

trouble with the nation, trouble with the
relations

where you gonna go for some illumination?

i wanna dance
with you
