You don't need to die for me to lose you forever
And I don't need no misty eyes to tell that you been cryin'
Oh, unless you can gather up a line or two
That you can guarantee will bring my love back to you
Dancer, take my hand and say goodbye to me
You was a sailor on my sea
With a key to unlock me
You know what it's like to wanna die
And so do I
And not cuz the weather don't suit your mood
It is a sadness you carry round with you
That's been in us since the day that he was born
And you don't need to lie for me to love you forever
And I don't need no fancy fare or fawn to make me smile
So, unless you can gather up a line or two
That you can guarantee will drag my love back to you
Dancer, take my hand and say goodbye to me
