Snowfoot Waltz by The Divers [MN] Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the distance a Methodist clock tower strikes midnight
As if to signal the snow to begin falling down
It drops slowly in big flakes lit up by the street light
And it hushes the sound of an otherwise much louder town
[Verse 2]
A young woman has been on the mind of a young man
But he's never approached her, afraid she might find him a bore
And his courage has failed in the past so he can't understand
Why compelled by a beautiful night like tonight
He walks up and knocks on her door and he says
[Chorus]
Dance with me
Through the falling snow
The temperature's fine for three-quarter time
And there's no better ballroom I know
So dance with me
Through the empty streets
The traffic is dead
And there's a tune in my head
And without you it won't be complete
To do the Snowfoot Waltz
[Verse 3]
With her consent he leads her out into the weather
Bundled up well and as warm as she was just inside
With his hand on her waist he still can't believe that he's with her
And into the light of an evening turned white they glide
[Chorus]
Dance with me
Through the falling snow
The temperature's fine for three-quarter time
And there's no better ballroom I know
So dance with me
Through the empty streets
The traffic is dead
And there's a tune in my head
And without you it won't be complete
To do the Snowfoot Waltz
[Verse 4]
For nearly an hour they waltz through the streets all alone
Till the clock tower strikes one interrupting their dancing duet
They gaze at each other and he says "I'll walk you back home"
But she stops him and says I've had a wonderful time
And I don't think this evening should end yet
[Chorus]
So dance with me
Through the falling snow
The temperature's fine for three-quarter time
And there's no better ballroom I know
So dance with me
Through the empty streets
The traffic is dead
And there's a tune in my head
And without you it won't be complete
To do the Snowfoot Waltz
In the distance a Methodist clock tower strikes midnight
As if to signal the snow to begin falling down
It drops slowly in big flakes lit up by the street light
And it hushes the sound of an otherwise much louder town

But he's never approached her, afraid she might find him a bore
And his courage has failed in the past so he can't understand

[Chorus]
Dance with me
Through the falling snow
The temperature's fine for three-quarter time
And there's no better ballroom I know
So dance with me
