Death waltzed with Sandy Magee
1-2-3
1-2-3
She stepped on his feet and attempted to lead
1-2-3
1-2-3
When she was out of breath he laid her down by the river
And shuffled along in time with the song in his bones
And oh...
Death waltzed on the corner of the street
1-2-3
1-2-3
Some people said he was light on his feet
1-2-3
1-2-3
He partners with everyone under the sun eventually
He dances with dreams and impossible schemes and all hope
And oh....
Death waltzed by the side of road
1-2-3
1-2-3
Raising up dust and kicking up stones
1-2-3
1-2-3
He shattered the glass like diamonds on grass, like a mirrored ball
Suspended above an orchestra playing the last waltz
And oh...
Death waltzed with Sandy Magee
1-2-3
1-2-3
She stepped on his feet and attempted to lead
1-2-3
1-2-3
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
