Jig Of The Century

As I recall, a sea of green

(The story starts and this is how it’s been told)

The fairest maid I have ever seen

(And from this day his heart was ever so bold)

Is it right, is it wrong, guess time will tell

But what will they say back home?

(What will they say back home?)

I fought them all and I fought them well

(And that’s an act of bravery alone)

She made me believe, made me choose

Trust in her words and then just lose it all

In times like these, in times like those

(The time was right for him to take a chance)

It’s what I seek, of what we speak

In her grace and my how we danced

For all things holy

Hope and glory

Rise and shine

Now is the time

For merry-making and fireworks in the sky

Raise our glasses

In triumph and laughter

Sing hallelujah, rejoice he was found

The silence so eerie

My dear, I gave you my all

Danced to the sound of a world in despair

Fading hopes but our future laid bare

Blessed and now the dice it was cast

We came to taste our freedom at last

The wheel of time

And so many miles

(The end of our tale is drawing near)

For what a way to end my trials

(He remembers the words he held so dear)

A promise made and a promise saved

And I know what they say back home

So when they lay me down to rest

(Words of pride will be carved into his stone)

She made me believe, made me choose

Trust in her words and then just lose it all

Rise and shine

Now’s the time

For merry-making and fireworks in the sky

Raise our glasses

In triumph and laughter

Sing hallelalalalujah! Rejoice, he was found

Danced to the sound of a world in despair

Fading hopes but our future laid bare

Blessed and now the dice it was cast

We came to taste our freedom at last
