《The Floral Dance》歌词

[00:00:00] The Floral Dance - Peter Dawson

[00:00:12] As I walked home on a Summer night

[00:00:15] When stars in Heaven were shining bright

[00:00:18] Far away from the footlight's glare

[00:00:20] Into the sweet and scented air

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

[00:00:29] Borne from afar on the gentle breeze

[00:00:31] Joining the murmur of the summer seas

[00:00:33] Distant tones of an old world dance

[00:00:35] Played by the village band perchance

[00:00:37] On the calm air came floating down

[00:00:50] I thought I could hear the curious tone

[00:00:52] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:00:54] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:00:56] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:00:59] Far away as in a trance

[00:01:02] I heard the sound of the Floral Dance

[00:01:07] And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing

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

[00:01:12] In and out of the houses they came

[00:01:14] Old folk young folk all the same

[00:01:16] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:01:22] Every boy took a girl around the waist

[00:01:24] And hurried her off in tremendous haste

[00:01:26] Whether they knew one another I care not

[00:01:28] Whether they cared at all I know not

[00:01:30] But they kissed as they danced along

[00:01:42] And there was the band with that curious tone

[00:01:44] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:46] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:01:48] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:51] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:01:53] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:02:09] I felt so lonely standing there

[00:02:12] And I could only stand and stare

[00:02:14] For I had no boy with me

[00:02:16] Lonely I should have to be

[00:02:19] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:02:25] When suddenly hast'ning down the lane

[00:02:27] A figure I knew I saw quite plain

[00:02:29] With outstretched hands he came along

[00:02:31] And carried me into that merry throng

[00:02:33] And fiddle and all went dancing town

[00:02:43] We danced to the band with the curious tone

[00:02:45] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:02:48] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:02:50] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:02:52] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:02:54] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:02:57] Dancing here prancing there

[00:02:58] Jigging jogging everywhere

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

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