Slow Dance With Terry
by Teri
Lyrics
Verse 1
Door clicks shut
We kill the light
Coffee cups cooling
On the counter, out of sight
Your shirt on a chair
My name on your breath
You laugh in my ear
Say, “Boy, you’re a mess”
Chorus
Slow dance with Terry
In this crooked little bed
Your hands write a story
Down my back, in my head
Every sigh, every shiver
Says what words can’t carry
I lose myself
Lose myself in you, Terry
Verse 2
Rain on the window
Throws shadows on your skin
You pull me closer
Like you’re drawing me back in
Heartbeat talking
Steady in my chest
You say, “Don’t you go”
I say, “I couldn’t at my best”
Chorus
Slow dance with Terry
In this crooked little bed
Your hands write a story
Down my back, in my head
Every sigh, every shiver
Says what words can’t carry
I lose myself
Lose myself in you, Terry
Bridge
Time slips, sheet-twists
Moon falls off the wall
If the world stops turning
I won’t notice at all (oh)
Just your breath on my neck
Your name on my tongue
This night, this love
Where we both come undone
Chorus
Slow dance with Terry
In this crooked little bed
Your hands write a story
Down my back, in my head
Every sigh, every shiver
Says what words can’t carry
I lose myself
Lose myself in you, Terry
