Where do I go to my love, my one
\nTo find your dancing soul, when day is done<\/p>\n
I dance to your music, I hear your song
\n‘Tis a merry jig, I surrender, dancing along<\/p>\n
Like a swallow on high on a mid-summer\u2019s night
\nI dance, I dance, and my mind takes flight<\/p>\n
You won\u2019t be caught, ’tis against your will
\nBut the song and the dance you are playing still<\/p>\n
The music is wicked, the rhythm is cruel
\nThe words of the song say I\u2019m the fool<\/p>\n
Faster and faster I blindly twirl
\nYour cadence enticing, my dizzy heart awhirl<\/p>\n
I know you\u2019re not real, I know you\u2019re not true
\nStill I choose to dance this merry jig with you<\/p>\n
And as the fiddle\u2019s forlorn last note is played
\nI know I should be, but I\u2019m not sorry I stayed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
