Richard Thompson Waltzing's for Dreamers lyrics

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 achin' and two steps for breakin'
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighin' and two steps for cryin'
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 everythin'
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 foldin' money in this pocket of mine

Oh, one step for achin', two steps for breakin'
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighin', two steps for cryin'
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

Miss, you don't know me but can't we pretend
We care for each other till the band reach the end

Oh, one step for achin', two steps for breakin'
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighin', two steps for cryin'
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
