Two-Way Waltz

You're a quicksilver lady

A child of the morning

A flower by day

A slow fire by night

And he's taught you things

For all that you've shown him

He's a gazer of stars

A blue crystal light

And sometimes he cries

And he says things

That pierce you to your soul

But he's still a man who loves you

And it hurts to let you go

You're a man with the power

Of rattlesnake lightening

Hard like the mountains

But soft like the sun

And she's taught you things

For all that you've shown her

She's a weaver of visions

In threads finely spun

And sometimes she cries

And she walks away

Held by the dreams that find her

But she's still a woman who loves you

And her heart will always remind her

So, dance for the day

But watch for the signs

That point out your way

When the dust fills your eyes

And try to believe

That the sweetest hello

Always comes after

The hardest goodbye

For two ways can sometimes make one

That's stronger than either alone

So, dancers join hands

For the two-way waltz

But take the steps on your own

For two ways can sometimes make one

Yes, that's stronger than either alone

So, dancers join hands

For the two-way waltz

But take all the steps on your own
