She Alone Could Hear

She was movin' to the music That only she alone could hear She was backlit by the street light A Bordertown not far from here He was passin' through from Dallas A lonely man on dark highways And he watched with fascination The street light bathed her with its rays He strolled gently up beside her And seemed to hear the music there Then she nodded when she saw him As two alone became a pair She was movin' to the music That only she alone could hear She was backlit by the street light A Bordertown not far from here Oh, the night became less lonely The lightning flashed up on the hill Then he put his arms around her As they both heard the music still Then the two became a chorus A lonely man on empty roads Met a dancer 'neath the streetlight Seems they were sharin' the same loads She was movin' to the music That only she alone could hear She was backlit by the street light A Bordertown not far from here 7-14-20 Contest: Strand Completely New (10) Sponsor: Brian Strand
