《The Floral Dance》歌词

[00:00:00] The Floral Dance - Simon Gilbert

[00:00:11] As I walked home on a Summer night

[00:00:14] When stars in Heaven were shining bright

[00:00:17] Far away from the footlight's glare

[00:00:19] Into the sweet and scented air

[00:00:22] Of a quaint old Cornish town

[00:00:30] Borne from afar on the gentle breeze

[00:00:32] Joining the murmur of the summer seas

[00:00:34] Distant tones of an old world dance

[00:00:37] Played by the village band perchance

[00:00:39] On the calm air came floating down

[00:00:48] I thought I could hear the curious tone

[00:00:51] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:00:53] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:00:56] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:00:58] Far away as in a trance

[00:01:01] I heard the sound of the Floral Dance

[00:01:08] And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing

[00:01:10] And then I saw the whole village was dancing

[00:01:13] In and out of the houses they came

[00:01:15] Old folk young folk all the same

[00:01:18] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:01:25] Every boy took a girl around the waist

[00:01:27] And hurried her off in tremendous haste

[00:01:30] Whether they knew one another I care not

[00:01:32] Whether they cared at all I know not

[00:01:35] But they kissed as they danced along

[00:01:45] And there was the band with that curious tone

[00:01:47] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:50] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:01:52] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:55] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:01:57] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:02:15] I felt so lonely standing there

[00:02:19] And I could only stand and stare

[00:02:22] For I had no boy with me

[00:02:24] Lonely I should have to be

[00:02:27] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:02:35] When suddenly hast'ning down the lane

[00:02:37] A figure I knew I saw quite plain

[00:02:40] With outstretched hands he came along

[00:02:42] And carried me into that merry throng

[00:02:44] And fiddle and all went dancing down

[00:02:55] We danced to the band with the curious tone

[00:02:58] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:03:00] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:03:03] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:03:05] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:03:08] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:03:10] Dancing here prancing there

[00:03:12] Jigging jogging everywhere

[00:03:15] Up and down and round the town

[00:03:18] Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance
