The music in the background was swingin' in the air
The brass was moving as her skirt spun 'round with her hair
A glide across the tiled floor
The smell of herbs sweetly adorned
The room
A meal was made for eating a dish just made for two
Would busy up the mind but there was still not enough to do
He gave a stir, she gave one more
He looked at her, she checked the floor
For there was no work no aid to ignore
The not-so-distant thoughts
But still, they managed somehow
Told stories of the people who mattered in their lives
Read lyrics off the page some others completely memorized
She didn't need to check the clock
He didn't even care to
Yet she worried of keeping him
From something that he'd rather do
For the work was done the night nearly through
The not-so-distant thoughts hidden from view
And still, they managed somehow
For she was born near lakes that stretched for miles
And he settled near waterfalls in northern skies
But her familiar waters are a home away from home
And his northern skies feel worrisome now that she is gone
