Dance Slow Decades - Angel Olsen

Thought I had a clue

It was passing by

Thought I had an answer

It was just a sigh

Thought I had a dream once

Don’t remember what

Your voice cut straight through me

Right down to my bones

Like a winter’s wind it

Knocked out my soul

Thought I had some time here

Left my watch at home

Thought I had ideas once

They were all on loan

Thought I conquered something

Then it took me down

What I thought I heard clearly

It wasn’t sound

Thought I felt your heartbeat

It was just my counting

Unto what thoughts will

My life be amounting

I can hear you crying

And I am crying, too

The world might be lying

But so are you

I can see you dancing

If you’d just take the step

You might still have it in you

Give yourself the benefit

And dance slow decades

Toward the sun

Even when you’re the only one

Don’t look around

It’s not right

It’s not wrong

Dance because you know the song

I dance because

I know this one
