lyrics

Oh the bailiff’s a-knocking
He’s come with his hearse
To take what is left of our home
The table, the freezer, the bed can all go
But I’m saving the old gramophone
There’s a lever right here
For to wind up the gear
It won’t use the electricity
And our seventy-eights are all worthless to them
Won’t you stay here and dance here with me?

Oh the moon and the stars, they glisten
And the music plays all through the night
My dear, close your eyes and just listen
And everything’s gonna be right
Oh an image appears on the skyline
Of a bird that’s about to take flight
My dear there may be no tomorrow
So let’s dance all through the night

Close your eyes, sail away
On a dream, to the day
When injustice and poverty end
When the Earth is our mother,
We treat one another
As equals and brothers and friends
Where you’ll no longer cry from the hunger or cold
And all your potential’s fulfilled
Peace bells ring all around
Through the cities and towns
To say no more Red blood will be spilled

And the moon and the stars, they glisten
And the music plays all through the night
My dear, close your eyes and just listen
And everything’s gonna be right
Oh an image appears on the skyline
Of a bird that’s about to take flight
My dear there may be no tomorrow
So let’s dance all through the night

The long long night will soon be over
Sleeping worlds will wake again
And sing for all to hear, the people’s rhymes
‘Til then, my dear, forget your sorrow
Let today become tomorrow
Hear me tell you
“This is not my crime”

And someday we will rise up together
In a world that is peaceful and new
With gilded domes and glittering pinnacles
With luck it might even come true
Still that image appears on the skyline
Of a bird that’s about to take flight
My dear you will always remember
When we danced all through the night
