Dancing on the Sill
 words and music by Justin Burrrill (Crabble Duro, BMI)

Your eyes have fallen sideways,
Your chin has found your chest.
The headlights on the cars out there,
Look like the buttons on your vest.

Dancing in the doorway,
Dancing on the sill,
Dancing out along the night,
Dancing as you will.

Patience, she waits for what?
Across the city calling,
She waits for what?

Trailing from the fences,
Swinging off the line,
Placing the situations,
Among the splintered pines.

Dancing in the doorway,
Dancing east to west,
Dancing out along the night,
Dancing without rest.

Patience she waits for what,
Across the city calling,
She waits for what?

Your Eyes have fallen sideways,
Your chin has found your chest,
Your falling into evenings,
That drone with no sense.

Dancing in the Doorway,
Dancing on the sill ,
Dancing every which way,
Dancing as you will.

Patience, she waits for what
Across the city call,
She waits for what?
