The Dancer of Beale Street

from Honey Moon by Sunil K Chopra

/

lyrics

Smokey's been around forever.
He always gets his way:
dancing in the aisles and leaving smiles in his wake.

When we get back to Chicago,
we've got to go to Kingston Mines.
He'll be dancing all winter long up there.

They say we're living,
but we won't know anything about it 'till we go there
and you've been dancing all night long with me.

You're pale and cold,
cheeks are flushed and red like a silly snowman.
See you dancing all night long with me.

Living in a foggy mirror,
he kinda looks like Booker T.
Now that he's with a humble style of his own.
Living in the minute, but living long and lively,
except a shadow, by the weekend, near and far and in between.

They really don't know what to do or say, or to stay or go,
when he smiles and says "I'll see you all winter long with me."
"Your baby don't know that she's got a soul in pain, and you gotta heal it in Chicago all winter long with me."
