Sophie B. Hawkins - Don't Stop Swaying

I saw you there
All I wanted was to start with you
Was the hardest thing I ever had to do
'Til 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

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)
Mama 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, his is who they are
These are the things they need
(Don't stop swaying baby)
