Old Fashioned

The Dance

Arms over mine
She says, "I am still here,
No tears..."

Stevie & Joe Walsh.

You are the modern one
I am the old fashioned...
She walked up to him
Full of passion...

Smarter than anyone
Things that we are
Disappear into the night
Those burning hearts... two stars..

So she walked up to him
Took his hands, drew him to herself
They said, "Ooh, this is too fine..."
She says, "Hold me in your arms
These are the moments that I live for..."

Charmingly disarming
Turn around to me
Arms over mine
She says, "I am still here,
No tears..."

Too modern to rise above
Too medieval to go between
Too uncertain to fall together
To remain, to be true...
You are the modern one
I am the old fashioned...

She walked up to him
From the dance floor...
She walked straight into his arms
And the lights went on...
He did nothing to hide
That wicked, uruly smile
And the lights were on them...

Well, you had better go...
Don't forget about the song
She said to him, "I won't..."
I won't...
Forget...
Don't forget about the song...
I won't...

~ occasionally called 'The Dance', but it's not from The Dance. Confusing, yes.
~ note the similarity to the Timespace liner notes about Joe Walsh: "I walked into a party after a gig at the hotel, and from across the room... I saw this man, and I walked straight to him... he held out his hands to me, and I walked straight into them..."
