[00:00:00] The Floral Dance - Peter Dawson

[00:00:00] Written by：Katie Moss

[00:00:14] As I walked home on a summer night

[00:00:17] When stars in heaven were shining bright

[00:00:20] Far away from the footlight's glare

[00:00:22] Into the sweet and scented air

[00:00:24] Of a quaint old Cornish town

[00:00:31] Borne from afar on the gentle breeze

[00:00:33] Joining the murmur of the summer seas

[00:00:35] Distant tones of an old world dance

[00:00:37] Played by the village band perchance

[00:00:40] On the calm air came floating down

[00:00:52] I thought I could hear the curious tone

[00:00:55] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:00:57] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:00:59] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:02] Far away as in a trance

[00:01:05] I heard the sound of the floral dance

[00:01:10] And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing

[00:01:12] And then I saw the whole village was dancing

[00:01:14] In and out of the houses they came

[00:01:16] Old folk young folk all the same

[00:01:19] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:01:25] Every boy took a girl around the waist

[00:01:27] And hurried her off in tremendous haste

[00:01:29] Whether they knew one another I care not

[00:01:31] Whether they cared at all I know not

[00:01:34] But they kissed as they danced along

[00:01:45] And there was the band with that curious tone

[00:01:47] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:50] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:01:52] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:54] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:01:56] All together in the floral dance

[00:02:12] I felt so lonely standing there

[00:02:15] And I could only stand and stare

[00:02:18] For I had no boy with me

[00:02:20] Lonely I should have to be

[00:02:23] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:02:29] When suddenly hast'ning down the lane

[00:02:31] A figure I knew I saw quite plain

[00:02:33] With outstretched hands he came along

[00:02:35] And carried me into that merry throng

[00:02:37] And fiddle and all went dancing town

[00:02:47] We danced to the band with the curious tone

[00:02:50] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:02:52] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:02:54] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:02:57] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:02:59] All together in the floral dance

[00:03:01] Dancing here prancing there

[00:03:03] Jigging jogging everywhere

[00:03:04] Up and down and round the town

[00:03:07] Hurrah for the Cornish floral dance
