Those Dancing Days Are Gone Lyrics

Those Dancing Days Are Gone

Come, let me sing into your ear;
Those dancing days are gone,
All that silk and satin gear;
Crouch upon a stone,
Wrapping that foul body up
In as foul a rag:
I carry the sun in a golden cup.
The moon in a silver bag.

Curse as you may I sing it through;
What matter if the knave

The children that he gave, Carala Bruni - Those Dancing Days Are Gone - http://motolyrics.com/carala-bruni/those-dancing-days-are-gone-lyrics.html
Are somewhere sleeping like a top
Under a marble flag?
I carry the sun in a golden cup.
The moon in a silver bag.

Come, let me sing into your ear;
I thought it out this very day.
Noon upon the clock,
all that silk and satin gear;
A man may put pretence away
Who leans upon a stick,
May sing, and sing until he drop,
Whether to maid or hag:
I carry the sun in a golden cup,
The moon in a silver bag.
