Dance

My name is Mary

and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi

But this is where I live

here in this old folk's dormitory

Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us

And she plays that old upright

But Sarah always seems to leave us

Caedmon's Call

When she plays something comes over me

Goes from my head all the way to my feet

[02:28.16][00:56.23]And I wanna dance

[02:31.32][00:59.56]I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance

[02:36.04][01:04.23]I wanna move around the room

[02:37.84][01:05.93]just like a woman in a trance

[02:42.96][01:11.14]All night, I wanna dance

[02:47.85][01:16.03]I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance

[02:52.52][01:20.63]I wanna listen to the music

[02:54.83][01:22.58]that's been ringing in my ears

[02:59.73][01:27.89]one day I'm gotta dance right out off here

I had three girls and a boy

but now one's gone up to Heaven

She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin

The older that I get I figure everyone is dying

They're all dying for a change

I know I'm dying for some action

But days like these Sunday seems so far away

So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I'll stay

[02:27.51]

I'd marry you,

if you could dance, that's what I said

Cuz where I'm going they'll be dancing everyday
