Buckdance Lyrics

Buckdance lyrics

Words by Shawn Mullins

 

 What I'd give to be you for an hour or two

 Oh tell me a story of fortune and glory things I

 Never knew for I am the hungry and I am the poor 

 I've got one foot outside where the world is alive 

 And the other foot nailed to the floor 

 But it's always the one with the terrible past who surprises me most

 Who puts himself last - five nights in hell and a forty day fast 

 I remember her well tho I don't know her name 

 Her touch was a river so cold made me shiver and shake with disdain 

 And I'll never know why you chose me to haunt 

 But I'll say what I can hoping you'll understand that it's not you I want.
