DANCING WITH THE REAPER blues song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

my baby was down
lying in bed
white as a ghost
and half past dead
I fell asleep
and when I woke in the night
I saw my baby in the moonlight
just when I thought life could get no cheaper
she was dancing with the reaper

they moved so graceful
and oh so slow
each moment would stop
and round they go
I rubbed my eyes
thought that I was going blind
maybe I was losing my mind
but the dark kept getting deeper
as she was dancing with the reaper

I said Oh darling please don't leave me
don't let the angel of death deceive me
in heaven's my belief
don't let me drown in grief
just give me one last chance
to take you in my arms and dance

when I woke I was alone
in a white room
cold as a stone
quiet as gloom
I tried to keep
to make my memories real
to remember how to feel
how it felt when I could keep her
before she danced with the reaper
