Don't Stop Swaying

Sophie B. Hawkins

I saw you there

All I wanted was to start with you

Was the hardest thing I ever had to do

Till I made you care



Yo brother

You sure heard me

Banging on the big drums for your love

You called me baby then

Talked to me like your best friend

When the time was right you were so good

Asked me what I like

And I said



Don't stop swaying baby

You soothe my soul and I stop searching

When I get lost in the rhythm

Everything stops hurting

Don't stop swaying baby

Take it slow

And I keep yearning



Again I fall

Lighter than the morning dew

Fresh

'Cause I always never knew

What I'm stumbling on



Yo sister

You sure heard me

Singing in the rain for some love

You took me unaware

Said things to make me care

Now the time is ripe and you're so good

Ask me what I like and I say



Don't stop swaying baby

You soothe my soul and I stop searching

When I get lost in the rhythm

Everything stops hurting

Don't stop swaying baby

Take it slow

And I keep yearning



Spoken:

Hansel and Gretel are holding hands deep in the forest. They are lost. This is

their own story. The two have fallen in love, and so, after a long quietness

amidst the creatures of the night, they begin to kiss. Traveling like heat

through each other's bodies, they pass through centuries of insecurity and into

a rhythm where they are not afraid.

Mamma has led these children into the wild unknown for reasons, known, with

father's help, of course, they tried very hard to get back home, but of course,

they could not.

(Don't stop swaying baby...)

And so, they find themselves through the darkness, through the sadness, making

love, making peace, making music. They find themselves, through the chaos,

making sense. This is what they want. This is who they are. These are the

things they need.
