The Dancing Floor - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Beside the braes of dawn, one clear new morning

Down where the lilies stood in bloom

I knew that I was just a stranger in this world

A wind just passing through

And so we dared to stray in these golden ways

We never, never knew what to do

And the world kept comin' screamin' all its news at me

Well, now I've got news for you

So let me take you down to the dancing floor

You can walk out on the crowd

Let us waltz away what's left of the living years

In celebration of the loved

No, nothing's all that it seems in the strands and the waves

Our steps renewed, our lips confessed

We were stranded at the altar of unknown delights

Down on the road to happiness

And as the sunlight fills the Highland hills

It's all become so clear somehow

That the days we spend were not made to end

We stand forever in their glow

So let me take you down to the dancing floor

You can walk out on the crowd

Let us waltz away what's left of the living years

In celebration of the loved

It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor

We can turn our lives around

Just leave behind that wretch that you have been

With that fool that I'd become

Now the hours are few and the days can be so cruel (So cruel)

Yes, the nights are getting long (The nights are getting long)

And that joy that you would always bring

It'll always keep me strong

So let me take you down to the dancing floor

You can walk out on the crowd

Let us waltz away what's left of the living years

In celebration of the loved

It's all glitz and sparkle tonight on the dancing floor

We can turn our lives around

Just leave behind that wretch that you have been

With that fool that I'd become
