THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN The Waterboys Fisherman's Blues/Room To Roam band, 1989-90

The Wayward Wind

Track 5 of the new Waterboys album AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR YEATS, to be released 19 September 2011.

The girl goes dancing there
on the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
escaped from her bitter youth
escaped from out of her crowd 
and her black cloud

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

If men come from the house
to lead her away please do not say she is crazy
lead them gently astray
let her finish the dance
finish the dance

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

She sings as the moon sings     
I am I, I am I
the greater grows my light
the further shall I fly 
I hear the wind a-blow
I hear the grass a-grow
And all that I know
I know, I know    

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

The girl goes dancing there
on the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
let her finish the dance
let her finish the dance
finish the dance

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

SWEET DANCER

Spiegel im Spiegel

Souped up fandango version with good rolling bassline - still missing my fade outro metaphysical rant which I shout as I drive through the gloaming

These are songs and mash-ups from my home studio. Some feature The Waterboys, some just me, some are other stuff.
