No tears were spent The night they buried Sadie Clay No silence swept Across the factory floors That old ill wind Just sang its song And then the world moved on
No saintly glow Awaits the fate of Sadie Clay They found her cold A bottle by the bed In younger years A cheap embrace could Set her heart apace Two empty arms to grace
Why don't you dance The kisses sworn to failure Cross breaking waves Into the great unsung Until your days are done
Through lumbering limbs She tried to pass a part in And as they rose Assembled in the hearse A done for dream Would meet the flight And deck the threadbare night With bones of blinding light

Why don't you dance The kisses sworn to failure Cross breaking waves Into the great unsung
Why don't you dance The kisses sworn to failure Cross breaking waves Into the great unsung Until your days are done
