Here is "Two-Way Waltz" reformatted to make it (I hope) easier to follow:

TWO-WAY WALTZ (Kate Wolf)

           A                    E
You're a quick-silver lady, a child of the morning
D E A
A flower by day a slow fire by night
E
But he's taught you things for all that you've shown him
D E A
He's a gazer of stars, a blue crystal light,
D E A
And sometimes he cries and he says things
F#m D
That pierce you to your soul
A E C# D
But he's still a man who loves you
A E A
And it hurts to let you go.

You're a man with the power of rattlesnake lightning,
Hard like the mountains but soft like the sun.
And she's taught you things for all that you've shown her
She's a weaver of visions in threads finely spun.
And sometimes she cries and she walks away
Held by the dreams that find her
But she's still a woman who loves you
And her heart will always remind her.

So dance for the day but watch for the signs
That point out your way when the doubt fills your eyes
And try to believe that the sweetest hello
Always comes after the hardest goodbye.
For two ways can sometimes make one
That's stronger than either alone
So dancers join hands for the two-way waltz
But take the steps on your own.
