Kyle Vincent The Ballad of Dana & Mary Lyrics

Dana works all day restoring the barn
Mary, his love, plants the bulbs on the farm
She won't see their flowers for four months or more
But she knows the beauty in store

Breakfast at eight, lunch at noon, supper at six
Then go for a walk, have a talk, or just sit
Climb up to bed by a quarter to ten
Then get up and do it again

Saturday night at old Munson Hall
They dance the night away
Seems not so long ago
They were on their first date

Mary's on Main Street protesting the war
She'll be there each week as she's been there before
And although she knows that it's mostly in vain
Her convictions have never refrained

Dana's old tractor's still barely alive
But he keeps it running on stubborn old pride
The pride that it gives him each hard working day
A pride so rare today

Saturday night at old Munson Hall
They dance the night away
He's holding her, she's holding him
Like it's their first date

80 years on and they're still going strong
50 years married where have the days gone
But sometimes a love can keep time standing still
And for Dana and Mary it will
For Dana and Mary it will

Saturday night at old Munson Hall
They'll dance their lives away
As slowly they spin around
The world fades away
