Am Sleeping in the valley, valley of ill fortune Waking cross the river, river of delusion Full moon lures the waves, waves of desperation Empty hearts and mouths wither away
AmGAm Close your eyes AmEmC Slow your breath EmAm Dream of northern lights EmAm Around this dance
Riff 2
Am No abandones, no llores, busca tu rio No te sientas perdido Gira, vuelta y vuelta Bailala
Am Cup your hands to her parched heart, parched and Broken heart No water here to drink way downstream One goes where the water flows and water's running dry So don't give up no don't cry, don't cry
AmGAm Just close our eyes AmEmC Pretend we forget EmAm North country dreams EmAm Twist this dance .....of death
Riff 2
Am Danza de la muerte Si viene a verte Que bailando te encuentre Bailando, girando Danza de la muerte
Am Spin round, spin round, spin round Vuelta, vuelta, muerte Danza de la muerte Bailando, girando Danza de la muerte Vuelta, vuelta, muerte Danza de la muerte Bailala
