The Music Never Stopped Lyrics

The Music Never Stopped
-----------------------

There's mosquitos on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now,
Did you hear what I just heard?

Say it might have been a fiddle
or it could have been the wind
but there seems to be a beat now
I can feel it in my feet now
Listen here it comes again!

There's a band out on the highway
They're high steppin'into town
They're a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody's dancin'
C'mon children, C'mon children
Come on clap your hands

Sun went down in honey,
Moon came up in wine
Stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord
the band kept us too busy
We forgot about the time.

They're a band beyond description
Like Jehovah's favorite choir
People join in hand 'n hand
While the music plays the band, Lord
They're settin' us on fire.

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight
Balls of lightnin' roll along
Old men sing about their dreams
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playin' on.

Keep on dancin' thru to daylight
Greet the mornin' air with song
No one noticed, but the band's all packed and gone
Was it ever here at all?
But they keep on dancin'
C'mon children, C'mon children
Come on clap your hands

Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday
And the corn's a bumper crop
The fields are full of dancin'
Full of singin' and romancin', cause
The music never stopped.
