lyrics

It’s the new year my missus
How it’s got me wishing
For bygone Decembers
For the infinite cold
To steal my last breath and I’d
Watch it ascend someplace
I don’t know yet
But I sure hope to go

Have you at last
A ring for your finger?
A home for your mother?
A hope for the coast?
Or are you contented
To wither your wiles away
Waiting on me, mama
Down at the grove?

Save the last dance for me
Down at the grove
What the neighbors don’t need to
The neighbors don’t know
Many the questions
Mighty the lack
That our maker can’t answer
The angels don’t ask

Some dark November
They’ll sell these walls for timber
And everyone we’ve known
Will give up the ghost
We’ll throw up our arms
Lay down our defenses
And take back our time darling
Down at the grove

Save the last dance for me
Down at the grove
What the neighbors don’t need to
The neighbors don’t know
Many the questions
Mighty the lack
That our maker can’t answer
The angels don’t ask

We’ll leave not a trace
They won’t speak of our memory
As the tenements rise
Like the river below
But that ain’t no reason
To leave me here lonesome
So save me the last dance
Down at the grove

Save the last dance for me
Down at the grove
What the neighbors don’t need to
The neighbors don’t know
Many the questions
Mighty the lack
That our maker can’t answer
The angels don’t ask
