  • The Tavern Dance Floor
    Added on Feb 20, 2009

    A dark-natured Warrens-style dance, popularized by a Driamusek Bard in the twenty-first Age.

    He looks at me first, all sweat and insecurity.
    The sound of his voice is the sound of ecstasy.
    I hold up a hand, but he's pushed back a little more,
    Caught up with the dancers on the tavern dance floor.

    Well, dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away, stayin' close next t' me.
    Dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away on th' tavern dance floor.

    The floor smokes like embers, burned up with heat and revelry.
    There is nothin' of him hain't come out of obscurity
    No tears there now, boy, not now and not before.
    There's no one but us on the tavern dance floor.

    I ask him for his name, and his name, he'll not tell to me.
    That silence of his is the silence of ecstasy.
    I ask him, right out, just what he is stayin' for.
    He says, "Come with me, off the tavern dance floor."

    Well, dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away, stayin' close next t' me.
    Dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away on th' tavern dance floor.

    Now, some drinks, like wine, they soothe away a misery.
    While others, they sting, sting right at the throat of me.
    But this drink so sweet leaves me thirstin' for more and more.
    That's how I lost my heart on the tavern dance floor.

    Well, dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away, stayin' close next t' me.
    Dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away on th' tavern dance floor.

    He looks at me first, all sweat and insecurity.
    The sound of his voice is the sound of ecstasy.
    I hold up a hand, but he's pushed back a little more,
    Caught up with the dancers on the tavern dance floor.

    Well, dance the night away, far away o'er the dyin' lands.
    Dance the night away, stayin' close...
