I still remember when I first watched him work the blade It was down in the Buckney den my questions tumbled and he said O this is not a thing to learn inside a day Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found Then you'll know what I know O wild are the ways we run when at last untethered out we fly Straight into the burning sun, need no direction, no not I But it is not a thing to learn inside a day Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found Then you'll know what I know So little dancing girl you want to play a tune One that your heart can fill to help you shine under the moon Well it is not a thing to learn inside a day Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the sound Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found Then you'll know what I know Then you'll know what I know
