A Woman Who Dances

There's a woman who dances,

In the market square,

With a mischievous smile,

She plucks music from the air.

Her wild black hair

flies every which way,

As she spins and twirls

on through the day.

Around and around,

She dances--she flies,

Her vivacious movements,

Draw curious eyes.

Her sky-blue eyes,

Twinkle with joy--

And mischief,

Like a little boy.

She wears a coat,

Billowing and grand,

It flaps like her wings,

Like she will never land.

Her bare-feet are dusty,

And they stamp the ground,

Her coat flies about,

As she spins all around.

The music moves in her,

The tune's all her own.

Her heart is a drum,

The beat is her bone.

Her blood is a rush,

Of melodious song,

So join to her now,

Start dancing along.
