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
CHORUS
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
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 now
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

Well it is not a thing to learn inside a day

Move with a touch so light
