La Vie Dansante
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They can can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ship heading for the rocks
See the time melting off the clocks
There's a light shatters all the locks
And saves me
It saves me
[Chorus:]
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you'll want La Vie Dansante
Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders
Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop is a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feeling
[Chorus]
