In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
All the world is dancing night and day
Its feet are strongly beeded
Africa dance with America
From south to northen sea
CHORUS:
Sing good night to Europe
And dance with her from sea to ocean
Light Europe, light from the starts above
In a world of happiness and love
Here she com (here she come)
Australia in a trance
Just like a magic woman
Through the sand (through the sand)
From an exotic land
She's here, Asia apears
CHORUS:
Sing good night to Europe
And dance with her from sea to ocean
Light Europe, light from the starts above
In a world of happiness and love
Sing good night...
CHORUS:
Sing good night to Europe
And dance with her from sea to ocean
Light Europe, light from the starts above
In a world of happiness and love
Its feet are strongly beeded
Africa dance with America
From south to northen sea
CHORUS:
Sing good night to Europe
And dance with her from sea to ocean
Light Europe, light from the starts above
In a world of happiness and love
Here she com (here she come)
Australia in a trance
Just like a magic woman
Through the sand (through the sand)
From an exotic land
She's here, Asia apears
CHORUS:
Sing good night to Europe
And dance with her from sea to ocean
Light Europe, light from the starts above
In a world of happiness and love
Sing good night...
CHORUS:
Sing good night to Europe
And dance with her from sea to ocean
Light Europe, light from the starts above
In a world of happiness and love
