Jig of Life

Hello, old lady

I know your face well

I know it well, she says

"Ooh, na-na, n-na-na, na-na-na

I'll be sitting in your mirror

Now is the place where the crossroads meet

Will you look into the future?"

"Never, never say goodbye

To my part of your life"

No, no, no, no-no

Oh, let me live

She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl"

She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl" (C'mon and let me live)

"This moment in time"

She said

"It doesn't belong to you"

She said

"It belongs to me

And to your little boy and to your little girl

And the one hand clapping

Where on your palm is my little line

When you're written in mine as an old memory?"

Ooh, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-n—

"Never, never say goodbye

To my part of your life

Oh no, no, no, no, no

Oh, never, never, never, never, never let me go"

She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl" (C'mon and let me live)

She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl" (C'mon and let me live)

I put this moment here

I put this moment here

I put this moment

Over here

Over here

Can't you see where memories are kept bright?

Tripping on the water like a laughing girl

Time in her eyes is spawning past life

One with the ocean and the woman unfurled

Holding all the love that waits for you here

Catch us now, for I am your future

A kiss on the wind, and we'll make the land

Come over here to where When lingers

Waiting in this empty world

Waiting for Then, when the life spray cools

For now, does ride in on the curl of the wave

And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools

We are of the going water and the gone

We are of water in the holy land of water

And all that's to come runs in

With the thrust on the strand
