Lyrics

Beside the braes of dawn, one clear new morning
Down where the lilies stood in bloom
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
A wind just passing through
And so we dared to stray in these golden ways
We never, never knew what to do
And the world kept comin' screamin' all its news at me
Well, now I've got news for you
So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
No, nothing's all that it seems in the strands and the waves
Our steps renewed, our lips confessed
We were stranded at the altar of unknown delights
Down on the road to happiness
And as the sunlight fills the Highland hills
It's all become so clear somehow
That the days we spend were not made to end
We stand forever in their glow
So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With that fool that I'd become
Now the hours are few and the days can be so cruel (So cruel)
Yes, the nights are getting long (The nights are getting long)
And that joy that you would always bring
It'll always keep me strong
So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle tonight on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With that fool that I'd become
