Krista Detor, PBS: 'Dancing in a Minefield' (Mudshow)

'Dancing in a Minefield' (Mudshow) Lyrics:

You look a little different
Than you used to
What have you done?

Maybe someone new
A little different?
You say that he's the only one

But I remember something about you
Maybe I don't want to live without you

You're dancing in a minefield like Ginger Rogers
Like anybody looking hard couldn't see
The sunken eyes and the hands a trembling
And every step is farther from me
Every step is farther from me

Call him up
Call it off
- Sell your soul if you have to

Look around
You got enough
To make you happy if you want to

And I remember something about this
I remember every kiss I ever gave you

You're dancing in a minefield like Ginger Rogers
Like anybody looking hard couldn't see
The sunken eyes and the hands a trembling
And every step is farther from me
Every step is farther from me

Build a fire
With his ashes
Pluck the purple embers with your hands

A doppelganger -- is all
A pretty picture -- is all
This isn't love, he's just a traveling man

Krista. Talent. so many scrubby songwriters just don't wash X

[Robutube1]

These songs, and this artist, will one day be known so well. How can that not be? Buy this album (Mudshow) folks, if you care at all for the human condition.
