Paroles: 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
Till 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

Again I fall
Lighter than the morning dew
Fresh
'Cause I always never knew
What I'm stumbling on

Yo, sister
You sure heard me
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

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

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
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
