about

A groovy moody sultry dance also known as the Song for Alex (a lovely friend of ours).

lyrics

Sometimes I cry but you don't
You're like a goddess high and dry
The waves rush in
I daydream on the beach
I see you in your blue dress
Some goddess on the beach

Dancing on the cliff
Dancing in the drift
Like a story being told
As I watch you unfold

Howling bells and sea shells
Whispered stories like a goddess high and dry
The rain comes down
Atop the ocean
I see you sailing off effortlessly
Some goddess on the sea

Dancing on the deck
Dancing in the drift
Like a story being told
As I watch you unfold

Sometimes you fly but I don't
You're like a goddess high and dry
The snow falls down
Atop the mountain
I see you waving in the distance
Some goddess on the snow

Dancing on the cliff
Dancing in the drift
Like a story being told
As I watch you unfold
