Dancing As The Boat Goes Down
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.
At first we knew the sight
Brimming with gleaming golden light
As soon as we got there
I knew it would end in a great big fight
There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing
Dancing as the boat goes down
Dancing as the boat goes down
By now they were lost for words
They were following us in great big herds
As soon as we made the bay
Swimming away from the circling birds
There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing
Dancing as the boat goes down
Dancing as the boat goes down
It was never said what they really did
But we all knew when they ran and hid
There was dancing and singing
Crying and ringing, dancing as the boat goes down
Dancing as the boat goes down
Dancing and singing, crying and ringing
They were moving below the waves
They would never know the sun again
