Spirit of the Dance Songtext
von The Band

Weider-Ciarlante-Danko-Helm

Tillerman tells a story, he turns a heavy row
Enter the circle where our spirits sowed by soul
Move with the rhythm, freedom will be there
On this first occasion when two enemies can share.

The secrets of this mystery let the message sing
Ancient wisdom tells us here′s where it begins.

Dance, dance 'til the break of day
Dance all our cares away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, let the moon light the way.

Silvery stars start to shine and the moonlight is fine
Everybody dance.

A call of the procession is echoing
Through the valleys and the mountains you can hear it sing
Voices talk to the living in a perfect trance
From the body to the soul, it flows on it′s path.

The sound remains a mystery, let the message sing
Ancient wisdom tells us here's where it begins.


Dance, dance 'til the break of day
Dance all our cares away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, let the moon light the way.

Silvery stars start to shine and the moonlight is fine
Everybody dance
Everybody dance.

Down in the bottom, the Creole heat
And it′s moved into the street
Under open skies the whole night′s a celebration
And I never want it to leave
And I feel the jubilation
And I never wanna let it go
So in our possession we have the power to make the fire glow, fire glow, fire glow, fire glow.

Dance, dance 'til the break of day
Dance all our cares away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, let the moon light the way.

Dance, dance ′til the break of day
Dance all our cares away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, let the moon light the way.


Silvery stars start to shine and the moonlight is fine
Everybody dance
Everybody dance.
