Tuesday
Trey Anastasio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slow dancin' with the trees all around
I'm spinning in the breeze with my Mary Ann
I like to see her when the sun goes down
One day, maybe Tuesday evening
I'm dancing with the trees all around
One day when the spin slows down
Slow colors as we lift through the canopy
Still laughing with her hair all around
I'm spinning through the trees with my Mary Ann
Flipped over and we drift on down
One day, maybe Tuesday evening
She comes running when her baby comes 'round
One day, when the beats slow down
I'm dancin' with the trees all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and you can feel it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and I can see it somehow
One day, when the beats slow down
Rose water is my drink in the summer
I love to see her with her hair hangin' down
Slow dancin' in the trees with my Mary Ann
She comes running when her baby comes 'round
One day, and you can feel it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, yeah, I can feel it somehow
One day, when the beats slow down
Black water and a feast in the Summer
Slow dancin' with the trees all around
One day, and you can feel it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and I can see it coming 'round
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and you can see it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and I can see it somehow
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and you can feel it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and you can feel it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
One day, and you can feel it all around
One day, when the beats slow down
