Sky Dances
Words by Jimmie Durham and music by Roy Brown
(Originally recorded on Sky Dances reissued on Early Warnings
Sky dances, willows dance like women,
dance like snakes

Willows dance before the mirror

Fish dance in the mirror, turtles dance

Oaks dance like bears, clouds sing like sky
bears

Pines dance, they are stars

Storm has come here to kill the grubs,
to kill worms

Seeds dance, water dances, it is proud sky
horses

The corn will grow and dance with us

Lances of storms are with us

New plants grow, new things ride this way

Sky dances, sky dances, sky dances, sky
dances

Sky dances, sky dances, sky dances, sky
dances

Sky dances, willows dance like women,
dance like snakes

Willows dance before the mirror
Fish dance in the mirror, turtles dance

Oaks dance like bears, clouds sing like sky
bears

Pines dance, they are stars

Sky dances, sky dances, sky dances,
sky dances

Sky dances, sky dances, sky dances,
sky dances
