Don’t it feel like a movie, teaching this girl how to waltz
Left feet, she might have three, but she sure feels nice in my arms
Old folks sing an old song, play in the agreed upon key
My eyes are stuck on her, her eyes don’t leave her feet
This girl, no class ring, maybe this is more than a lark
Brown boots, a dirt floor, we’re dancing like two candles in the dark
Pretty outlaw call a quarter past, light knuckles on a barrack door
She got a brother down in Topaz, I saw that name once in a jewelry store
Wind around past the skaters and pond, looking for a cut in the wire
She’s got a key to the cellar door,
I don’t ask questions, man, just stand there inspired
This girl, gets why, I miss the garden at the Golden Gate Park
Young blood and old songs, we’re dancing like two candles in the dark
I tell ya, man, it’s like some movie and she’s just tailor made for the part
Lamps licking the roof beams, she’s got good looking down to an art
Hear the old folks sing them old songs, the background just fades away
Our coffee can fire’s almost gone, she says, “I gotta get out of this place”
This girl, a pin point, that moment ya feel a spark
Brown boots, a dirt floor, we’re dancing like two candles in the dark
Dancing like two candles in the dark
Dancing like two candles in the dark

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
