| This is the oldest dance
|
| Deepest beat and the lovers' trance
|
| And the closing of the space between us
|
| And the rhythm of the place I dream us
|
| May you people always move in the old, old way
|
| This is the oldest dance
|
| Deepest beat and the lovers' trance
|
| And you would have to be so cruel
|
| To stop me now I’m a rhythm fool
|
| And the colour of the veins you open
|
| Stains the nation with the games you’ve broken
|
| And you’re people should be free to wander
|
| Free to choose every step
|
| And never loose
|
| May your people always move in the old, old way
|
| Everybody was so happy
|
| The day we danced on a beautiful sea
|
| And you would have to be so cruel
|
| To stop me now I’m a rhythm fool
|
| And it’s got to be heaven’s hand
|
| Shining light on the chosen land
|
| This is the oldest dance
|
| Deepest beat and the lovers' trance
|
| Everybody was so happy
|
| The day we danced on a beautiful sea
|
| And you would have to be so cruel
|
| To stop me now I’m a rhythm fool
|
| This is the oldest dance
|
| Deepest beat and the lovers' trance |
