Dont Stop Swaying - Lyrics by Sophie B Hawkins


Lyrics

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

spoken
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
don't stop swaying baby
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
don't stop swaying baby
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
don't stop swaying baby
