Her Dance Needs No Body
co-written by Terry Manning
Her dance needs nobody, no body at all
She's both darkness and light
Just a shadow on the wall
Wink of a black cat eye
At the end of an unlit hall
Both a lady and her lover
Both a child and her doll
Time, has no body at all
Over and over
Surrender, surrender, surrender
Rage gently
She's warm breath on a winter's window
Tangled humming birds fall
The earth is her footprint
All the wind is her shawl
Her dance needs no body, no body at all
with The Compass Point Horns
Jawara Adams on Trumpet & Flugelhorn
Tino Richardson on Saxophones
Terry Manning on Valve Trombone
