The Dancing Floor Songtext

von Runrig

Beside the braes of dawn
One clear new morning
Down where the lilies stood in bloom
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
A wind just passing through
So we dared to stay
In these golden ways
We never knew what to do
And the world kept coming screaming
All its news at me
Well now I've got news for you

No nothing's all that it seems
In the strands and the waves
Our steps renewed our lips confess
We were stranded at the altar of unknown delights
Down on the road to happiness
And as the sunlight fills
The Highland hills
It's all become so clear somehow
That the days we spend
Were not made to end
We stand forever in their glow

Now the hours are few
And the days can be so cruel
Yes the nights are getting long
And that joy that you would always bring
It'll always keep me strong

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away waht's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With that fool that I'd become
