don't stop swaying

i saw you there

all i wanted was to start with you

was the hardest thing i ever had to do

'til i made you care

yo

brother

you sure heard me

banging on the big drums for your love

you called me baby then

talked to me like your best friend

when the time was right you were so good

asked me what i like

and i said

don't stop swaying

baby

you soothe my soul

and i stop searching

when i get lost in the rhythm

everything stops hurting

don't stop swaying

baby

take it slow

and i keep yearning

oh

again i fall

lighter than the morning dew

'cause i always never knew

what i'm stumbling on

yo

sister

you sure heard me

singing in the rain for some love

you took me unaware

said things to make me care

now

the time is ripe

and you're so good

ask me what i like

and i say

don't stop swaying

baby

you soothe my soul

and i stop searching

when i get lost in the rhythm

everything stops hurting

don't stop swaying

baby

take it slow

and i keep yearning

don't stop swaying

baby

you soothe my soul

and i stop searching

when i get lost in the rhythm

everything stops hurting

don't stop swaying

baby

oh

and the sun goes down

don't stop swaying

baby

hansel and gretel are holding hands deep in the forest. they are lost. this is their own story. the two have fallen in love

and so

after a long quietness amidst the creatures of the night

they begin to kiss. traveling like heat through each other's bodies

they pass through centuries of insecurity and into a rhythm where they are not afraid. mamma has led these children into the wild unknown for reasons known

with father's help

of course

they tried very hard to get back home

but

of course

they could not. and so

they find themselves through the darkness

through the sadness

making love

making peace

making music. they find themselves

through the chaos

making sense. this is what they want. this is who they are. these are the things they need. when the sun goes down

and i'm next to you

oh
