La Vie Dansante

by Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, and Michael Utley

from the album Riddles in the Sand

Lyrics

They can can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay So lonely
See the ship heading for the rocks
See the time melting off the clocks
There’s a light shatters all the locks
And saves me
It saves me

That’s why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That’s all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don’t you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That’s all you’ll want La Vie Dansante

Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders

Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop is a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feeling

That’s why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That’s all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don’t you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That’s all you’ll want La Vie Dansante

That’s why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes us just where we want
That’s all we want La Vie Dansante
Why don’t you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That’s all you’ll want La Vie Dansante
