Buckdance lyrics

Words by Shawn Mullins

What I`d give to be you for an hour or two
Oh tell me a story of fortune and glory things I
Never knew for I am the hungry and I am the poor
I`ve got one foot outside where the world is alive
And the other foot nailed to the floor
But it`s always the one with the terrible past who surprises me most
Who puts himself last - five nights in hell and a forty day fast
I remember her well tho I don`t know her name
Her touch was a river so cold made me shiver and shake with disdain
And I`ll never know why you chose me to haunt
But I`ll say what I can hoping you`ll understand that it`s not you I want.
