Runrig — The Dancing Floor

[Verse 1] 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 And so we dared to stray in these golden ways We never, never knew what to do And the world kept comin' screamin' all its news at me Well, now I've got news for you [Chorus] So let me take you down to the dancing floor You can walk out on the crowd Let us waltz away what's left of the living years In celebration of the loved [Verse 2] No, nothing's all that it seems in the strands and the waves Our steps renewed, our lips confessed 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 [Chorus] So let me take you down to the dancing floor You can walk out on the crowd Let us waltz away what'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 [Verse 3] Now the hours are few and the days can be so cruel (So cruel) Yes, the nights are getting long (The nights are getting long) And that joy that you would always bring It'll always keep me strong [Chorus] So let me take you down to the dancing floor You can walk out on the crowd Let us waltz away what's left of the living years In celebration of the loved It's all glitz and sparkle tonight 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
