Two-Step from Smash Hits by Roger Dean Young

A little slice of heaven
Adelaide you’re making me laugh and I don’t even know you
But I’m guessing that the things you like,
Butterflies and hollowed wood blowin’,
Are pretty much the same as mine

Along the line a warbling bird
Your uncle calls from Red Deer just to hear you
Dabble away in the water of words
While the 59th Street Bridge Song is dancing with the
Summer breeze, a two-step if you please

Why is it everyone that I know
Is just a little down, a little concerned over what they don’t know
Like will there ever be a frontier?
Looking for a place where our dreams
Can have it out with our fears

There’s a colour that I’m thinking of
You can spot it yourself with a keen eye and bent for blue sky
An appaloosa that knows her name
A verandah with an upright piano rolled out on Sundays

Along the line a warbling bird
Your uncle calls from Red Deer just to hear you
Dabble away in the water of words
While the 59th Street Bridge Song is dancing with the
Summer breeze, a two-step if you please

Adelaide the phone is ringing
I gotta go answer to everyone, they’ve got my number
But in the quiet that I leave behind
you can spy with your eye a footpath through the aspens to the pasture

Along the line a warbling bird
Your uncle calls from Red Deer just to hear you
Dabble away in the water of words
While the 59th Street Bridge Song is dancing with the
Summer breeze, a two-step if you please
