about

featuring fiddler Alasdair Fraser

lyrics

Spring ended cold and the rain kept on
She longed just to be warm in the summer sun
With years of all alone, and ice in her bones
Her heart so many miles away from everyone

One cloud dreaming of her favorite son
They drifted together ‘til the two were one
Blocking out the sun, they rained on everyone
And the water filled the rivers when the day was done

Try to learn the dance, and trust your feet to know
Spin your partner clear up to the sky
Step light on the two and four, go for broke, reach for more
Reel the stars down into your eyes

The sky burned down, and the days were long
The cool evening called like a fiddle song
When it was time to choose, she laced up her dancing shoes
Took his hand, and led him out where they belonged

The last dance was called when the moon was high
The last dance would not let them say goodbye
Not quite as bright as noon, but still it came too soon
That the last dance was called when the moon was high

Try to learn the dance, and trust your feet to know
Spin your partner clear up to the sky
Step light on the two and four, go for broke, reach for more
Reel the stars down into your eyes
