alan doyle & the dardanelles - st. john's waltz lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, the harbour lights are gleaming
and the evening’s still and dark
and the seagulls are all dreaming
seagull dreams on amherst rock
and the mist is slowly drifting
as the storefront lights grow dim
and the moon is gently lifting
as the last ship is coming in
all the sailors got a story
some are true and some are false
but they’re always wrecked and they’re up on the deck
and they’re dancin’ the st. john’s waltz

[verse 2]
well, we’ve had our share of history
we’vе seen nations come and go
we’ve seen battlеs rage over land and stage
four hundred years or more
for glory or for freedom
all for country or for king
for money or fame, well, there are no names
on the graves where men lie sleeping
all the nine to fives survive the day
with a sigh and a dose of salts
and they’re parkin’ their cars and they’re packin’ the bars
and they’re dancin’ the st. john’s waltz
[verse 3]
oh, my heart is on the highway
and i’m sold on goin’ to sea
all the planes fill the skyway
all the trains run swift and free
leave the wayward free to wander
leave the restless free to roam
if it’s rocks in the bay, if it’s old cliché
you’ll find your way back home
don’t question or inquire
what’s been gained or what’s been lost
in a world of romance don’t miss out on the chance
to be dancin’ the st. john’s waltz
in a world of romance don’t miss out on the chance
to be dancin’ the st. john’s waltz
