The Dance

It’s Saturday night and you’re brushed up and clean
And the old week is all washed away
You’ve ironed your shirt and pulled on your jeans
You’re up for a weekend of play
So you brush up your boots and comb back your hair
Pull your flying jacket off the back of the chair
Your GPO Bantam’s in the yard out there
And you’re ready to ride to the dance – and to..

Step out onto the floor where there’s always a chance
Of starting a new romance, of a kiss at the end of the dance
And then maybe some more

Now the village Hall it is draughty and cold
Pull the curtain over the door
Crank up the band and stoke up the stove
Scatter the talc on the floor
You try tom look cool as you stand at the side
When the girl with the blond hair catches your eye
You take a deep breathe and give her a smile
This is no time to start to act shy – So you

Now the band has packed up and you’re walking her home
Back through the tunnel of love
It’s dark near the trees and you’re all alone
Whilst the Milky Way glows up above
And you’re arm in arm and you’re only sixteen
And life is full of achievable dreams
You’re already thinking of seeing if she’s keen
To Come out with you the next time – You

The Moonbeams Long Preston, UK

Their contemporary folk based music skilfully evokes the beauty of their homeland, carrying you on a lyrical journey through the fells and dales of Yorkshire. Songs of rain, sun, and fells capture that elusive feeling of what it means to escape from the humdrum of everyday life. ... more
