Sweet Girl
Fleetwood Mac · The Dance
Outside your world,
Who spends time with you
From whom do you learn when you're not working... Sweet Girl....
Where would you go if you had the time?
Crossing some crazy state line somewhere?
To whom do you cry
When people are unkind... Sweet Girl
I chose to dance across the stages of the world
Everyone said I'd never learn
I still hear your words
I waited all my life for you....Sweet Girl
I did try to come back and listen
You never knew that I didn't wish it
But I did hear every answer...every question
It's all about protection
Still through the sunlight days I wait
Track a ghost through the fog
The sun is burning me
And you come running out in the wind with me
The ocean is your blanket
I chose to dance across the stages of the world
Everyone said I'd never learn
I still hear your words
Well, I waited all my life for you
I watched you fly across the world in a golden ball
Many of the cities, I never saw at all
Sometimes I think I was always on-call
Sometimes even I am allowed to fall
He says, come down here for a minute...Sweet Girl...
