I still remember when I first watched him work the blade
It was down in the Buckney den my questions tumbled and he said
Oh this is not a thing to learn inside a day
Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way
You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground
Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found
Then you'll know what I know
Oh wild are the ways we run when at last untethered out we fly
Straight into the burning sun need no direction no not I
But it is not a thing to learn inside a day
Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way
You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground
Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found
Then you'll know what I know
So little dancing girl you want to learn to play a tune
One that your heart can fill to help you shine under the moon
Well it is not a thing to learn inside a day
Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way
You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the sound
Move with a touch so light until its rhythm you have found
Then you'll know what I know now
