Dancing Days
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.
Young man with a stone to throw
Take a breath and just let it go
Angry man with a cross to bare
Now you seem life just isn't fair
Oh, let it go
Cos, you wake up in happy days
Face the music
In your eyes you've made your bed
Read what the papers say
Your dancing days are over
The smile on your face will never hide your shame
You can't escape what they say
Your dancing days are over
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
Oh how you danced
Oh how you sang
There's a feeling here that you began
Oh how you stood and stared
Held onto every breath
It seemed the world stood still
Transfixed by every step
Oh, let it go
Cos a lesser man would be your crowd
Captivation, lesser men will tear you down
Read what the papers say
Your dancing days are over
The smile on your face will never hide your shame
You can't escape what they say
Your dancing days are over
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
The very crowd demand it's not to blame
The demi man celebrates his pain
So glad to be with him through your pain
Old man sings his final song
And wonders where it all went wrong
Read what the papers say
Your dancing days are over
The smile on your face will never hide your shame
You can't escape what they say
Your dancing days are over
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
Read what the papers say
Your dancing days are over
The smile on your face will never hide your shame
You can't escape what they say
Your dancing days are over
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
The very crowd demands it's not to blame
The demi man celebrates his pain
So glad to be with us through your pain
