Uncounted Waltz

Writing Credit to Stephanie Bailey

 
 

Little girl, little girl

  Dancing around.
  Tripping over his mistakes
Suppressing her own sound.
   
  Little girl, Little girl
  Just passing the time.
  She has been faithful
  Connecting all his rhymes.
 

 

Chorus:

  Don’t let your tears quench your flame
  Providence knows you’re stronger than you can comprehend.
  When will you stop dancing
  A waltz you cannot count?
   
 

Little girl, poor little girl

  Missing the point and reason.
 

He’s in love and won’t admit.

  He’s in love, but can’t commit.
   
  Notes have lost their strength.
  Key signature is wrong.
  The flute can’t help you now,
  She’s got to play her solo.
   
  Flute Solo
 
 

Repeat Chorus

 
 

Bridge:

Little boy, poor little boy
Forgetting the dance.
Half-way up the mountain
Avoiding her glance
 
Little girl and little boy
Trapped in a triplet.
Crown within the fountain,
Romeo without a Juliet.
  Boy…
   
 

Deviated Chorus:

  Don’t let your tears quench your flame.
  Those who hear not the music, think the dancers insane.
  Boy, when will you stop leading
  A waltz you cannot count?
 
 

Enduring long, striving far,

  Struggling through
  Decisive course of action
Long overdue.
 

Little girl, little girl

Head on the ground.
Tripping over his mistakes
And spinning, spinning around.
 
Spinning, spinning, spinning
Spin, spinning around.
In an Uncounted Waltz.
