Lyrics Laura Veirs

Laura Veirs

Little Deschutes

It sure is hard to dance across

The room when you've got

One foot on the floor

And one foot outside the door

I want nothing more

Than to dance with you

The peace I've known, floating along

The deep green river with you and a song

Is something like the peace I hope

To make with you my whole life long

I want nothing more

Than to float with you

Paddling through the hail storm

Clothes ravaged, the leaves all torn

And a part of me was born

Why care about yesterday's haze

When the stars above are all ablaze?

Why care about the coming dawn

When the moon pours now, its searchlight strong?

I want nothing more

Than to dance with you

I want nothing more

Than to float with you
