lyrics
We went to the barn on a warm summer night
To sing and to dance in the soft golden light.
Molly's so pretty she danced like a queen.
She smiled like a sage and she laughed like fifteen.
So dance with me, Molly, let's give them a show.
The lord and his lady we'll be.
And if the whole world ended after this song,
I think that'd be okay with me.
I think that'd be okay with me.
We danced 'round the carpet, no shoes on our feet.
We drank like the night drinks the wet July heat.
Outside was dark but the windows they shine.
For all that we knew there was no world behind.
So dance with me, Molly, and drink with me too.
They're more fun together, you'll see.
And if the whole world ended after this song,
I think that'd be okay with me.
I think that'd be okay with me.
La la la la la la…
Stay with me, Molly, the others have gone.
We'll sit on the grass and we'll wait for the dawn.
Can't waste an evening like this one because
The summer might end--it usually does.
So sit with me, Molly, and breathe in the night.
For now we're alive and we're free.
And if the whole world ends before the night's done,
I think that'd be okay with me.
I think that'd be okay with me.
