Lyrics
Been swinging dead animals
in a room that's too small
Nowhere to sit down the ceilings real low
Kill all the boredom,
I stand on my hands
Then I hear music
from someplace around
Lingering, dwindling,
delicate sound
A lady appeared
She said this could end
Dressed in black ribbons
Black silk and black lace
I see my dead love
In the lines of her face
She floats up to me
offers her hand
My love, you've been
gone since 2003
Sank to the bottom
of the green Irish Sea
Came back for you
Kiss boredom away
If you dance here with me
Dance with grace, dance this pace, dance with me
Die in rhyme, die in time, die in three
Waltz me black
Waltz me back
Dance with grace, dance this pace, dance with me
Die in rhyme, die in time, die in three
Waltz me black
Waltz me back
Back to the sea!
