Lyrics Sophie B. Hawkins

Sophie B. Hawkins

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 (fresh)

'Cause I always never knew

What I'm stumbling on

(Yo, sister) yo, sister

(You sure heard me) you sure heard me

(Singing in the rain for some love) 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.

(Don't stop swaying baby)

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.

(Don't stop swaying baby)

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

(Don't stop swaying baby)

And I'm next to you

(Don't stop swaying baby)

Oh

(Don't stop swaying baby)
