A Dance at the Crossroads

The men would gather in their flat caps

They’d talk about his and they’d talk about that

Oh what a summer we’re having

If it stays dry we’ll be laughin

Well on she came in her long summer dress

Sure for a dance at the crossroads she’d be lookin her best

They caught eyes from a mile away

And to the music they began to sway

Well he asked her to dance and she said I might just

Leave some room for the holy spirit oh no lust

I've to be home by twelve

So don’t get ahead of yourself

He was just like her auld lad

Tall dark and handsome

Manys a chip on his shoulder

But that never stopped him

She was just like his mother face as pure as her heart

She’d believe anything she’d say about a fresh start

And as the moonlight fell, so too did they

At a dance at the crossroads to the music they’d sway

One year passes by and they were dancing still

The boys would pass comments like johnny you know the drill

So he got down one knee

And soon she was a wife to be

And he was just like her auld fond of a bottle or two

Caused himself enough trouble but he muddled on through

She was just like his mother oh she’d never miss church she’d pray for others

In spite of her own hurt

And as the clocks and calendars turned well so too did they

At a dance at the crossroads to the music they’d sway

This little thing called love doin it half heartedly just ain't enough (x8)
