lyrics

Dance

It was a day like any other
Except someone was about to die
Whom we had known for all our lives

And we’d been called to come and see her
In her home to say goodbye
It was a strange ‘though not a long drive

We didn’t talk much that day
We just went on our way
I guess there was not a lot to say

She wore a long red checkered nightdress
She had her own idea of style
Wich I had always found quite funny
But one had to come to love after a while

She said I’ll cross the great divide
See the love of my life
You have his name
Wear his name with pride

Dance
The two of you, dance
Once again
Like you used to dance
