The Poorest Waltz

Lyrics
Across the cedar-covered river Within the night that covers them Up the hill, towards the dark gates An approach so sweet Proffer the sightless with wine ♪ Crank the old gramophone ♪ To go up and dance with the blind girls A secret so holy and dire To waltz in the arms of innocence Hushed delights from the choir ♪ Shadows long and playful Cast with broken old candles Gowns worn and stressed Yet graceful (tired old sandals) ♪ Strike up the scratchy old music Tonight they won't dance alone ♪ Alas, the music does fade Back to the (village, they creep) And leave the sanatorium Its bars and rules (just so) To dance with the blind girls With the blind girls
