[Intro] [Playful fiddle melody, acoustic guitar, bodhrán and handclaps] [Verse 1] I saw you by the old stone wall With sunlight in your hair You laughed and said, “Come follow me” Like you had not a care You kicked your shoes into the grass And pulled me by the hand The fiddle played across the hill And neither of us planned [Pre-Chorus] Where we were going Or how long we’d stay You just turned around smiling And carried me away [Chorus] We were dancing through the heather Like the summer lasts forever With the wind upon our faces And the whole wide world below We were laughing with the weather Running anywhere together If you ask me where we’re going I don’t know, I don’t know But keep dancing Keep dancing Don’t let go [Instrumental Turnaround] [Short melodic fiddle and tin whistle phrase] [Verse 2] We found a little country road That neither of us knew A farmer waved from half a mile We waved like old friends do We climbed until the valley Was a picture far below You said, “We really should go back” Then laughed and shouted, “No!” [Pre-Chorus] There’s time for being sensible On any other day So turn the music louder And dance the hours away [Chorus] We were dancing through the heather Like the summer lasts forever With the wind upon our faces And the whole wide world below We were laughing with the weather Running anywhere together If you ask me where we’re going I don’t know, I don’t know But keep dancing Keep dancing Don’t let go [Instrumental Break] [Joyful fiddle leads a catchy melody while tin whistle answers, steady acoustic groove and handclaps] [Bridge] Maybe years from now we’ll wonder Where that little pathway went Maybe we’ll forget the weather Or the money that we spent But I’ll remember how you looked When evening filled the sky With purple on the hillside And that mischief in your eyes [Breakdown] [Acoustic guitar, light bodhrán and intimate vocal] So take my hand We’ve still got time One more hill One more climb [Build] [Fiddle returns with warm group vocals] One more laugh One more song Who said we had to hurry home? [Final Chorus] We were dancing through the heather Like the summer lasts forever With the wind upon our faces And the whole wide world below We were laughing with the weather Running anywhere together If you ask me where we’re going I don’t know, I don’t know We’re still dancing through the heather And tonight could last forever Let tomorrow find us somewhere With another road to go Keep on laughing Keep on dancing Take my hand and don’t let go [Outro] [Fiddle, whistle and group vocals] Keep dancing Keep dancing Don’t let go Keep dancing Keep dancing [Final playful fiddle phrase]
