The Dead Waltz Lyrics - The Family Tree: The Roots - Radical Face

I saw your daughter yesterday 

As I was idle on the porch 

She slept-walked from your house down the walkway 

As though she'd done it all before 

And the moon was out 

And in her gown beside the riverbed 

She got down on her knees 

And wrapped her long hair up in vines, and leaves, and branches 

And with the wind beneath her feet 

Oh, she waltzed with the dead

And everything was bathed 

In light white as milk 

As the impossible began 

She danced across the water's edge 

But her feet, they didn't sink 

As though she flew 

I ran out in the water 

With a lantern in my hand 

I was waste deep and shivering 

I took her wrist and walked her in 

I was loathe to interrupt her 

But I had to get her home 

If people were to see thisthey'd gather up, raise hell and burn her alive

Don't you mind, don't you mind 

She'll be fine 

Tie a bell around her ankle 

Before she lays down at night 

And the sound of her footsteps 

Will wake me in time 

Don't you mind, don't you mind 

I'll watch over her 

As though she were mine
