Time Of The Dance Lyrics - Patty Griffin

He could hear those words of her mama still 

The talk of the ways and the always will be's 

She'd laugh at the time and pretend to be free 

But she'd never run far from the legacy 

She's trying the wind like the crack of a whip 

She places her fingertips up to her lips 

She thinks of a feeling that she can't quite recall 

And a few days when she'd been ahead of it all 

She stepped past the clocks 

She stepped high and wide 

Strong and true to the other side 

Kickin' away all the mud from her heels 

To the time of the dance 

To the second chance 

To the dust and the hours passed under the wheels 

Oh she stepped to the time of the dance 

She says sometimes being a husband and wife 

Feels like a fight against natural life 

And that there is no bigger chain on your soul 

And you're always dancing out in the cold 

Sometimes the light hits the side of his face 

And it fills up your heart like a soft embrace 

She knows that the struggle is more than a day 

More than the words that her mama could say 

Well they stepped past the clocks 

They stepped high and wide 

Strong and true to the other side 

Kicking away all the mud from their heels 

To the time of the time 

To the second chance 

To the dust and the hours passed under the wheels 

Oh they stepped to the time of the dance 

She said turn off the tv 

Hush all the sound 

All you can hear is the rain 

Just slip out the doorway 

And let the rain fall down 

Steal all the light brushing back to our town 

Well we'll step past the clocks 

Step high and wide 

Strong and true to the other side 

Kicking away all the mud from their heels 

To the time of the dance 

The second chance 

Til the dust and the hours passed under the wheels 

We'll step to the time of the dance 

Oh we'll step to the time of the dance
