Dance in Coal Canyon

DANCE IN COAL CANYON
Jim Pipkin 1989 (BMI)

They tell a strange story in north arizona
About a dancer who glides on the wind
She wandered away from her home and her family
Was never seen living again

Away- she'll dance in Coal Canyon alone
Away - she'll dance in Coal Canyon

She walked all alone up[ the trail to Coal Canyon
Where the sun bakes the rocks into sand
Some say she died in the fall of a rock slide
Some say she died by her own hand

Away- she'll dance in Coal Canyon alone
Away - she'll dance in Coal Canyon

And when they found her, her small broken body
Lay under the cliffs where she fell
Her eyes were wide open, her face it was smilin'
At least that's the story they tell

Away- she'll dance in Coal Canyon alone
Away - she'll dance in Coal Canyon

All her life long she was supple and graceful
Moved like a leaf on the wind
When the moon's right, shinin' over Coal Canyon
You'll see her dancing again

They tell a strange story in north arizona
About a dancer who glides on the wind
She wandered away from her home and her family
Was never seen living again

Away- she'll dance in Coal Canyon alone
Away - she'll dance in Coal Canyon
