For A Dancer — текст песни (Emmylou Harris)

(Jackson Browne)

Keep a fire burnin` in your eyes
Pay attention to the open skies
Yuo never know what will he coming down
I don t remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you would always he around
Always keeping things real by playin` the clown
Now you`re nowhere to be found
I don`t know what happens when people die
Can`t seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It`s like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
But I can`t sing, I can`t help listening
I can`t help feeling stupid, standing around
Crying is the easier down
`Cause I know that you would rather we`d be dancing
Dancin` our sorrow away
No matter what fate throws in your way
Just do the steps that you`ve been shown
By everyone you`ve ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Another`s steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you`ll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will he coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
Just as easy it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don`t let the uncertainty turn you around
Go on and I make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and thrown some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But you`ll never know
