Richard Thompson - Waltzing for Dreamers
Loading...
Uploaded by Cleapatr on Nov 30, 2008
Oh play me a blue song and fade down the light
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight
Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway
While the sweet violins and the saxophones play
And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end
One step for aching, and two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Now they say love's for gamblers, oh the pendulum swings
I bet hard on love and I lost everything
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm
And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn
And Mr Bandleader won't you play one more time
For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine
Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing, and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Oh Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end
Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

I once drove 1100 kilometres each way to see RT play a 45 minute set at a folk festival. This was one of the songs that made it a worthwhile journey.

Fantastic clip. RT has been so consistent down the years - both with his writing and playing.
An Irish band called 4 men and a Dog do a very good version of this on an album called Bark at the Moon.

@Cleapatr Thanx.

This song is my grand parents all over, there ancient love, there devotion, and undying bond, who waltzed till there 80s. even in the 90s when all was unfashionable and taught us a thing or two. gods bless Peggy and Oliver.
And of course Richard Thompson.

I want to thank Cleapatr for an outstanding job. I had listened to Bee's Wing a few moments ago, was impressed with the quality of it and very pleased that the lyrics were posted with it. After hearing and seeing it, I found this. Another very fine post. Count on me to subscribe.
