St. John's Waltz-Ron Hynes

[00:16.49]Oh the harbour lights are gleaming [00:20.63]And the evening's still and dark [00:24.74]And the seagulls are all dreaming [00:28.41]Seagull dreams on Amherst Rock [00:33.01]And the mist is slowly drifting [00:36.80]As the store front lights go dim [00:41.21]And the moon is gently lifting [00:44.98]As the last ship's the last ship's coming in [00:49.50]All the sailors got a story [00:53.20]Some are true some are false [00:57.73]But they're always wrecked [00:59.96]And they're up on the deck [01:02.16]Dancing the St. John's Waltz [01:06.07]Oh we've had out share of history [01:09.95]We've seen nations come and go [01:14.30]We've seen battles rage over land and stage [01:18.53]Four hundred years and more [01:22.75]For glory or for freedom [01:26.60]For country or for king [01:30.78]Or for money or fame but there are no names [01:35.00]On the graves where men lie sleeping [01:39.14]All the nine to fives survive the day [01:43.23]With a sigh and a dose of salts [01:47.28]And they're parking their cars [01:49.61]And packing the bars [01:51.88]Dancing the St. John's Waltz [01:54.52] [02:11.87]Oh my heart is on the highway [02:16.21]And I'm sold on going to sea [02:20.47]All the planes fill the skyway [02:24.29]All the trains run swift and free [02:28.70]So leave the wayward free to wander [02:32.60]Leave the restless free to roam [02:37.03]If it's rocks in the bay or it's old cliche [02:40.99]You'll find your way back home [02:45.18]But don't question or inquire [02:49.00]What's been gained what's been lost [02:53.61]In a world of romance don't miss out on the chance [02:57.29]To be Dancing the St. John's Waltz [03:00.91] [03:09.49]Yeah but they're always wrecked [03:12.28]And up on the deck [03:14.53]And dancing the St. John's Waltz [03:17.56]
