Take my hand.

Turn my head.

Lure me away

From this pain in my head.

I’ll come dancing with you.

Distract me like a baby

With a teddy bear,

Or give me some candy

So that I’m unaware 

Of how bad it is.

Show me one stone

That I can reach.

I stand in the brook

And long for the beach,

But it seems so far away.

But one more bead

In the rosary,

One more sentence to read,

One more word of poetry,

And I’ll come dancing

With you.
