The Music Never Stopped

There's mosquitos on the river

Fish are rising up like birds

It's been hard for seven weeks now

To hard to even speak now

Did you hear what I just heard?

Said might have been a fiddle

Or it could have been the wind

But there seems to be a beat now

I can feel it in my feet now

Listen here, it comes again

There's a band out on the highway

They're high steppin' into town

It's a rainbow full of sound

It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns

Everybody's dancin'

Come on, children, come on, children

Come on, clap your hands

Sun went down in honey

And the moon came up in wine

You know the stars were spinnin' dizzy

Lord, the band kept us so busy

We forgot about the time

They're a band beyond description

Like Jehovah's favorite choir

People joinin' hand in hand

While the music plays the band

Lord, they're settin' us on fire

Crazy rooster crow on midnight

Balls of lightnin' roll along

Old men sing about their dreams

Women laugh and children scream

And the band keeps playin' on

Keep on dancin' through the daylight

Greet the mornin' air with song

No one's noticed but the band's all packed and gone

Was it ever here at all?

But they kept on dancin'

Come on children, come on children

Come on, clap your hands

Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday

And the corn's a bumper crop

And the fields are full of dancin'

Full of singin' and romancin'

The music never stopped
