The Dancing Floor - Runrig

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

So we dared to stay

In these golden ways

We never never knew what to do

And the world kept coming screaming

All it’s news at me

Well, now I’ve got news for you

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

No nothing’s all that it seems

In the strands and the waves

Our steps renewed our lips confess

We were stranded at the alter 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 thier glow

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 the fool that I’d become

Now the hours are few

And the days can be so cruel (so cruel)

Yes, the night are getting long (the nights are getting long)

And that joy that you would always bring

It’ll always keep me strong

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 the fool that I’d become
