Death drops by - just for a slow dance...different take - same ending.
Soul Collector
by Mick Evans
I slide among - the rich and the poor
the misguided and the good -
slip unnoticed - rubbing shoulders
cruising round - your neighborhood
I dance real close - no manners at all
seems my reputation’s mud -
nothing looming - just perusing
I’m not cruel - just misunderstood
See me once - won’t see me twice -
take you dancing - if I could
Take a slow dance
with the Soul Collector
here to help you on your way -
at your service ‘24-7’
slow hand of fate -
take a last dance
with the Soul Collector
I’m already on my way
Let’s stay in touch - don’t be a stranger
just see me as a friend -
easy listener - nimble mover
I’ll pass this way again
It’s rare to get - an invitation
but I’m happy to oblige -
sometimes the chosen - don’t need asking
just dying - to come for the ride
See me once - won’t see me twice -
all life’s problems - left behind
Take a slow dance
with the Soul Collector
here to help you on your way -
at your service ‘24-7’
slow hand of fate -
take a last dance
with the Soul Collector
I’m already on my way
Take my hand - I'll flash you a smile
slow dance - just you and me -
close your eyes - kiss these lips
last thing in life’s that’s free
Take a slow dance
with the Soul Collector
here to help you on your way -
at your service ‘24-7’
slow hand of fate -
take a last dance
with the Soul Collector
I’m already on my way
Yeh, everybody dances some day.
