dance (LP version)
Dance
Caedmons Call
My name is Mary
and Im from Greenville, Mississippi
But this is where I live
here in this old folks dormitory
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
And she plays that old upright
But Sarah always seems to leave us
Caedmons Call
When she plays something comes over me
Goes from my head all the way to my feet
And I wanna dance
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I wanna move around the room
just like a woman in a trance
All night, I wanna dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I wanna listen to the music
thats been ringing in my ears
one day Im gotta dance right out off here
I had three girls and a boy
but now ones gone up to Heaven
Shes with her papa now cause he left for lack of penicillin
The older that I get I figure everyone is dying
Theyre all dying for a change
I know Im dying for some action
But days like these Sunday seems so far away
So until then Im gonna sit right here and here Ill stay
Id marry you,
if you could dance, thats what I said
Cuz where Im going theyll be dancing everyday
