Nigel Stonier - The Waltz of the Hare and the Hound lyrics

It starts with a D-Minor chord Head as the stone, heart as the sword And the colour-blind cynic will always Be singing the blues I am not easily bruised But the right kind of wrong will make me break like bad news And I cashed out my days in purgatory To spend time with you Take your partner by the hand Spin the coin around Just where will the black ball land In the waltz of the hare and the hound There's a car fire on Union Street Smoking mementos have sequinned our feet As we spin past the newsracks and the fake who*es To where the river begins They'll raise a plaque in our name To honour the old tune we all play again The band have gone home but the lovers They sing and they sing Take your partner by the hand Spin the coin around Just where will the black ball land In the waltz of the hare and the hound It ends with the sound of regret A whole lot of mess and a tired epithet Rosary beads and a headline To keep the children amused This one is scared to be found This one's blood-hungry with nose to the ground And the ink drips, the time shifts And I figure which one to choose Take your partner by the hand Spin the coin around Just where will the black ball land In the waltz of the hare and the hound
