lyrics

Kelly Like To Spin

©Dave Withers


There was some kind of siren off to the right
And she was out there dancing under the street light
This cotton thing going round and round
and the siren was the only sound

Kelly liked to dance beneath the light
Kelly liked to spin around in the night

It was the three of us that day
We were smokin cigarettes along the CNR track
It always seemed to be that way
It was me, Ed, and Kelly
when along came the midnight train
She saw a face in the second car window
She went off and she never came back again

Kelly liked to dance beneath the light
Kelly liked to spin around in the night
Kelly like to dance down the midnight track
but she never came back
And me and Ed we never said
Please Kelly won't you dance with me
I was never really strong enough to see how that might be
Please Kelly won't you dance with me

Ten years later me and Ed down in old T.O.
We see her dancing on a corner all alone
This cotton thing going round and round
And once again the siren was the only sound
She didn't really recognize me and Ed
but Ed still said
Please Kelly won't you dance with me.
Ed and Kelly in the night
Spinnin' on the corner underneath the street light

Kelly liked to dance beneath the light
Kelly liked to spin around in the night
Kelly like to dance down the midnight track
but she never came back
but she never came back
