June Tabor - The Dancing lyrics
[June Tabor - The Dancing lyrics]
Saturday night at the Adam Smith Hall
The couples all move to
The dance master's call
Tonight they've no problems
No worries at all
It's the dancing, the dancing's tonight
And oh, Monday morning
She comes round too soon
The sound of the flaxmill
The beat of the loom
But tonight the band's playing
A romantic tune
Aye, the dancing, the dancing's tonight
Her partner is perfect, so light on his feet
The footwork is faultless perhaps
They might meet
Up by the old Kirk or down Hunter Street
Walking home under the stars
Walking back late by Kirkcaldy's sea wall
The sea looks so big, the sky is so tall
The fate of two people can't matter at all
Just a waltz in three-quarter time
The couples all move to
The dance master's call
Tonight they've no problems
No worries at all
It's the dancing, the dancing's tonight
And oh, Monday morning
She comes round too soon
The sound of the flaxmill
The beat of the loom
But tonight the band's playing
A romantic tune
Aye, the dancing, the dancing's tonight
Her partner is perfect, so light on his feet
The footwork is faultless perhaps
They might meet
Up by the old Kirk or down Hunter Street
Walking home under the stars
Walking back late by Kirkcaldy's sea wall
The sea looks so big, the sky is so tall
The fate of two people can't matter at all
Just a waltz in three-quarter time
