Hue and Cry - Stumble Through The Dance

'Indeed...a great song.'
W x





In a hall somewhere, breathing perfumed air
Is a girl I've known from before she's born
She steps bold and free, easy on her feet
And the future's closer with every beat


Keep myself upright, face up to the light
And I'll stumble through the dance with you
Let me be inspired, let me not be tired
And I'll stumble through the dance with you


In a yard in town, with her face at frown
Is a girl who tries to live a perfect life
Some she wins, some lose, leaving cut and bruise
But I know she'll be anything she choose


Every hip that shakes, every give and take
Helps me stumble through the dance with you
Forward pause and back, till my heart goes craic
And I'll stumble through the dance with you


Somewhere on a hill, walking slow and still
Is a girl who knows nothing's ever closed
And we walk in time, and we speak in rhyme
When our dance begins no-one's left behind
