Hesitation Waltz

I’ve been writing this love song since we made our goodbye
Not standing on the shoreline with a tear in my eye
And I wrote it in a waltz time, baby just to be sure
We’d be dancing in the parlour, baby just like before
All the years you lay waiting in the pines of Champagne
Trying to find a lost battalion in the mist and in the rain
Baby now you’ve seen a darkness that could keep us apart
Come dancing in the lamplight, baby close to my heart

Oh Llewellyn, forget what you know
Oh Llewellyn, come sliding and slow

Whosoever gets to dance here be it lover or maid
Has raised your lovely children in the years you were away
Now you’re back at my bedside with a tear in your eye
Come dancing in the parlour like before we said goodbye
Oh the French girls like the two-step for to flame your desire
In the nights of dark abandon when the forests caught fire
And a good girl likes the quickstep when the lonely gets strong
But we can dance the Hesitation ’cause I loved you all along

Oh Llewellyn, forget what you know
Oh Llewellyn, come sliding and slow
Oh Llewellyn, forget what you’ve seen
Oh Llewellyn, come dancing with me
