Sarah Jane Morris - Never Forget How To Dance

Текст песни

It’s been a long time coming.
These feet have been confined
To a bare cell, on death row.
Yes, my sentence was unkind.
21 years in a prison cell
For something I didn’t do.
When no-one in the country believes you
There is nothing you can do.
But I never forgot how to dance,
No, I never forgot how to dance,
And if I ever got me another chance
I’d show the world how to dance.
They battered all my ugly bones,
They bashed out my good teeth,
And in my cell over many nights
A cacophony of grief.
I did all my best to cope
As the best years passed me by.
But I never gave up any hope
That folks would hear my cry.
No I never forgot how to dance,
No, I never forgot how to dance,
And if I ever got me another chance
I’d show the world how to dance.
Well this day has come to pass
Where the truth has overwhelmed
The lies of this bent justice,
An innocent life condemned.
And still some folk they doubt me.
Yes, they would have their day
When I’d be strapped down in that chair.
The lying bastards would have their way.
But I never forgot how to dance,
No, I never forgot how to dance,
If I ever got me another chance
I’d show the hold damn world how to dance.
