The Great Canadian Barn Dance

from Old Heavies by Cope

/

lyrics

You say, "It started."
I say, "So let it."
It's an awkward push
A rise and fall

Missing keys and lost wages
I spent my money on some awkward stages

Hands in a double hold
Spin til you're dizzy
Spin past there
Spin faster
Step in double-time
An exhibition
Of modern movement
Of tradition passed down
Empty spaces spilling over
Over and over
The song won't stop

Caller sounds another measure
Change your grip
And go down swinging

Minor hits and near misses
Skip the turn if you don't listen

Hands in a double hold
Spin til you're dizzy
Spin past there
Spin faster
Step in double-time
An exhibition
Of modern movement
Of tradition passed down
Empty spaces spilling over
Over and over
The song won't...

Circle back
Circle back
Circle back

Hands in a double hold
Spin til you're dizzy
Spin past there
Spin faster
Step in double-time
An exhibition
Of modern movement
Of tradition passed down
Empty spaces spilling over
Over and over
The song won't stop
