Dance

My name is Mary
and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
But this is where I live
here in this old folk's dormitory
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
And she plays that old upright
But Sarah always seems to leave us
Caedmon's Call
When she plays something comes over me
Goes from my head all the way to my feet
I had three girls and a boy
but now one's gone up to Heaven
She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin
The older that I get I figure everyone is dying
They're all dying for a change
I know I'm dying for some action
But days like these Sunday seems so far away
So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I'll stay
I'd marry you,
if you could dance, that's what I said
Cuz where I'm going they'll be dancing everyday
