Lonesome is a place I wish I didn't have to be.

Greg C Brown

Lyricist on an endless quest for the perfect melody.

I'm afraid I can't claim to be a band, although I have been known to jump on a bandwagon from time to time. No, I'm just a humble lyricist who is in absolute awe of the composers who have stumbled into my life and bothered to wrap a melody around some of my words. I've been attempting to legitimately call myself a lyricist since I was about 14 years old. Have a listen, won't you, and let me know if I qualify.

Story behind the song

My pen was itching to write something, so I said, "Okay, how's this?"

Lyrics

Dancing Alone
©1999/2008 Greg C. Brown & Mike DeShazer

I can smell her perfume across a thousand miles,
It reaches over all geography.
She was so entrancing, especially when she smiles,
I keep her locked inside a memory.

Graceful as an angel who dances in the night,
She turned my heart around with every move.
I wrapped her up in passion but held her much too tight,
And lost her when I had too much to prove.

-CHORUS-
So tonight I’ am dancing alone, I’m dancing alone
With nothing but the shadows of the night to comfort me.
Dancing alone, I am dancing alone,
And lonesome is a place I wish I didn’t have to be.

How she loved the darkness; it took her far away,
She closed her eyes and moved with velvet ease.
Though I tried to follow her every swing and sway,
Somehow she slipped away upon a breeze.

-CHORUS-

When it comes to love I’ve got two left feet,
I bumbled and I stumbled through every scene.
But when we were together I felt so complete;
We moved like Fred and Ginger on the screen.

-CHORUS-

Alone, I’m dancing alone
Alone, I’m dancing alone
Alone, I’m dancing alone.
