lyrics

(Refrain)
Oh but would you like to dance in the moonlight with me
Or would you rather stay indoors?
Anyway, I’d like this chance to move with you and
Freely glide across unbounded floors
I always knew you could float like this
Ebony hair and crimson lips…
… and the rhythm pulsating from those swaying hips
… and that long black dress

I remember leaning against a gate, it was a sunny day in June
I was seven and you were eight, a dreamy day at school
I looked at you from far away, you knew but you walked past
A summer breeze, the time blowing, grazed knees
The dance began and promised to last

.... full set of lyrics available on liner note booklet available with download

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
