Dark Dancer -

South Carolina girl, Here I come

I’m coming up from Georgia where I seen the sun

For the first time in weeks, oh it gave me life

I left my heart up north but it felt all right

Oh my dear you look so bright

Dancing in barely any light

Your mouth reminds me of my hills back home

And your eyes ain’t like nothing that I’ve ever known

Her calming breath upon my brow

Cooled my sweat and eased my pain

I left her back but don’t know how

I’ll hold her again if i can

So I hit the road with some men

Whom I entrust as my closest friends

Drinking and dancing in the dusk

Living fast and loving rough

Oh my dear you look so bright

Dancing in barely any light

Your mouth reminds me of the hills back home

And your eyes ain’t like nothing that I’ve ever known

The hills don’t live all alone you see

I brought them right along with me

In my dirty hands they do reside

Strange and warm, side by side
