The Music Never Stopped Lyrics - One From The Vault (live) - Grateful Dead

There's mosquitoes 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 

It's a rainbow full of sound 

It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns 

Everybody's dancin' 

Come on children, come on children 

Come on clap your hands 

The sun went down in honey 

And the moon came up in wine 

You know stars were spinnin' dizzy 

Lord the band kept us so busy 

We forgot about the time 

They're a band beyond description 

Like Jehovah's favorite choir 

People joining hand in hand while 

The music played the band 

Lord they're setting us on fire 

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight 

Balls of lightin' roll along 

Old men sing about their dreams 

Women laugh and children scream 

And the band keeps playin' on 

Keep on dancin' through the daylight 

Greet the mornin' air with song 

No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone 

Was it ever there at all? 

But they keep on dancin' 

Come on children, come on children 

Come on clap your hands 

Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday 

And the corn's a bumper crop 

And the fields are full of dancin' 

Full of singin' and romancin' 

But the music never stopped
