lyrics

Sun is rising, testimony to my leaving
Chill of January among feelings left behind
For the wind of California, and my reflection in its ocean
No more dancing in the evening, you are free no longer mine.

Dream a pullin like the current, of a mad and distant ocean
Dream of working, one day finding my place under the sun
The road goes west but where it’s taking me there ain’t no way of knowing
But no more dancing in the evening, you are free our dance is done.

West Texas flatlands to the Arizona mountains
Tell a story that no man would dare to write
And if not now I don’t think ever, and my days I know He’s counting
No more dancing in the evening, you are free no longer mine.

Traveling light means nothing, I don’t need much for where I’m going
A bag and a case of wood and strings tucked in
And on the night should I come home, know that I will be rejoicing
If I’m dancing night till morning swaying in your arms again.
