Priscilla (Album Version)

Artist：suzanne vega

Songs Title：priscilla

She'd come to my house

And dance in the hall

With the music up loud

Against the light on the wall

I danced beside her

Feeling no shame

We were in costume

And this was a game

She'd put on her skirt

Of layers of chiffon

The top of the umbrella had come off

So I put that on

We'd dance together then

An awkward ballet

She was 20 years older than I was

But still we did play

She was 20 years older than me

And many times my size

But it's her little feet I remember

And the look in her eyes

Once when I saw her

She made me a doll

Of ribbon and paper and ink

And lace I recall

I danced beside her

Feeling no shame

We were in costume

And this was a game

I think of her now I'm older

I still love to dance

Something will shine through the body

If you give it a chance
