Lyrics
Find another songDan had very long limbs
From leaning day to day
Hanging onto a cliff
That stretched him every day
And when she'd asked to hold hands
He would smile and
Let one of his hands go
His whole life in one hand
His whole life
And when he'd say goodnight and
Leave her doorstep
He'd use his last strength
To wave back
And once back in his room
Once back in his room
He'd return his waving hand
Back to its cliff
He liked her more than life itself
I'm sure
'Cause Dan had never danced
Outside of his room
When no one was home
And he would stop to hear the door
So when he moved with you
And felt his body let go
Of course, you couldn't know
It was you and you alone
That he had shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
And he would never tell you that it was his first time
