Live at the Ballard Firehouse, July 1990

lyrics

Give me one good reason
Why you should walk away
I'll give you ten better reasons
Why you should stop and stay
I know you're feeling tired
And I know that you really don't care

See that circle
See that square
See those dancing
Shoes over there
Put them on now
Let yourself go
Let it feel good
Come on let it flow

Because it doesn't really matter
And you shouldn't really care

Now you're dancing
You're making a scene
You're having fun now
And they're being mean
You'll get no break now
Won't give you a chance
But you keep dancing
Because this is romance

And you shouldn't really care
See that square
See those dancing fools over there
Don't put them down now
Don't let them go
Because you were dancing
Not so long ago

And it didn't really matter
And you didn't really care

Just like the seasons
She comes and she goes
And when she's hurting
Everybody knows
Just like the seasons
Changes right in your face
She says she's leaving
But you don't give a damn

Because it doesn't really matter
Because you're really not even here

Steve Skinner is a trendsetting trailblazer who does things the old fashioned way. He spends time in the desert canyon rivers playing concerts for great blue herons and canyon wrens.

The best way to reach him is to sing into a downstream breeze and then hold your breath to hear the answer. ... more
