Someone Else's Dance Lyrics

Dan Seals Someone Else's Dance

I met her out in Colorado

She didn't know which road to follow

She thumbed on down to Santa Fe

Before the snowflakes blew

*

Back home they didn't understand

So she had to change her plans

The midnight rain, the baby came

The father never knew

And you know I didn't plan to stay

But the roads were old and they washed away

*

And in between the life we dream

And those dark and dusty days

We drive to work and make our plans

As time tip toes away

*

The music plays from far away

A song of circumstance

We step in time or fall behind

In someone else's dance

*

Staring at the starry sky

Hand in hand the boy and I

We watch 'm fall

The Momma calls

It's time to come inside

And he'll never know how close he came

To a different life with a another name

*

And in between the life we dream

And those dark and dusty days

We drive to work and make our plans

As time tip toes away

*

The music plays from far away

A song of circumstance

We step in time or fall behind

In someone else's dance
