If you had a ballroom in old England
and I the courage to ask for your hand,
we’d both know every step.
If we were peasants scaring off crows
from the fallow fields we have sown,
we’d face no fork in the road.
But we’re neither noble nor peasantry—
no familiar choreography.
Burn me a mix CD,
and you cook for me
tonight.
If we were pawns in a world war
writing of battles and babies at home,
we’d predict each pen stroke.
But we’re neither soldiers nor addresses—
no familiar choreography.
Burn me a mix CD,
and you cook for me—
write our own dumb choreography.
We may step on some toes sometimes,
but dance with me
tonight.
Burn me a mix CD
tonight
burn me a mix CD
tonight
burn me a mix CD
tonight
burn me a mix CD
tonight
burn me a mix CD
tonight
burn me a mix CD
tonight
burn me a mix CD
and you cook for me—
write our own dumb choreography.
We may step on some toes sometimes.
