The Waltz Dexys

Don't stand me down, or around
For I'll never stop saying your name

I was the one who came rushing to see you believed in your strategy
Followed your course
Around this time, yes, I came near to remorse
I never quite did, of course
But then, things were no worse

And you were the one I was waiting to see, believed implicitly
But I never took tea
I was always in doubt
About working it out
Hence my reasons to shout

Were in permanent doubt

It's all changed now

Now, though it seems I am losing
It's not true
And though it seems there's confusion
It's also not true

As if I could not see
Believed implicitly
In the tales of the British democracy
How I swooned to the stories of Royal victories
But the books of history were fairy tale stories
But, never one to doubt
And not first think about
I restrained all my doubt
Now I'm working it out
Your good sister, it seems
Is nowhere to be seen
They don't talk of Kathleen
Things are not how they seem
