Masquerade Lyrics
All the world’s in mourning
All the world’s a stage
All the world’s invited
To this masquerade

Come dance around the Maypole / on a summers Morn
As Turtle-Doves coo / and spring Lambs are born
And the colours of the rainbow / light up the sun
So come dance two by two / and one by one

Clap your hands / just one, two, three
Kiss His ring / and bend your knee
Girls will bow / and courtesy too
Come dance all day / and all night too

Come dance around the Maypole / on a summers Morn
Bang that drum so loud / blow that golden horn
Go and tell it to your Sister / your brothers too
That we’ll dance till we drop / (and) wake renewed

Join your hands / around the tree
Soon you’ll be / completely free
First and last / come join the line
The time has come / to drink the wine

And we’ll dance so fast / like a spinning top
Only gravity will tell us / when we must stop
Let the music play / as we turn around
As the air is filled with laughter / and happy sounds

Come dance around the Maypole / on a summers Morn
As Turtle-Doves coo / and spring Lambs are born
And the colours of the rainbow / light up the sun
So come dance two by two / and one by one

Here’s the key / and there’s the gate
Kingdom comes / to those who wait
Take my hand / and lead me there
I’ll walk your way

Here’s the key / and there’s the gate
Kingdom comes / to those who wait
Take my hand / and lead me there
I’ll walk your way / through burning air

Paul Robert Thomas
