There's a spark in the air,
it jumps and it twirls
Through the hills and the heather,
it spins and it whirls
A pint in your hand, a jig in your step
The night's growing young, no time for regret
Oh,
round and round the dancing flame
A leech like a wild one can't be tamed
*** a partner,
shout their name And join the fire of the dancing flame
Round and round the dancing flame A
leech like a wild one can't be tamed
*** a partner,
shout their name And join the fire of the dancing flame
The fiddler's bow as quick as the breeze
The tin whistle sings like a song in the trees
The baron beats it pounds like a heart
And the banjo laughs a roll it can start
Oh,
the moon is high,
the stars align The night's a gift,
a grand design
Oh,
round and round the dancing flame A
leech like a wild one can't be tamed
*** a partner,
shout their name And join the fire of the dancing flame
Round and round the dancing flame A
leech like a wild one can't be tamed
*** a partner,
shout their name And join the fire of the dancing flame
Down by the river where shadows play
We'll dance till dawn chases night away
The grass is worn,
the earth feels warm We're bound to the rhythm,
a timeless charm
Round and round the dancing flame A
leech like a wild one can't be tamed
*** a partner,
shout their name And join the fire of the dancing flame
Round and round the dancing flame A
leech like a wild one can't be tamed
*** a partner,
shout their name And join the fire of the dancing flame
