Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smoke on the hilltop
Crow on the wire
Old church clock
Struck out of time
Granny lights candles
Says
“Hush now
Be still”
The river runs backwards
Past the low stone mill
[Chorus]
Dance
Love
Dance
It’s the last reel before dawn
Stamp the floorboards
Spin ‘til the ground is gone
If the world’s gonna break
Let it break in our song
Dance
Love
Dance
It’s the last reel before dawn (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Milk in the pail
Turns black in my hand
Newsman shouting
About a burning land
But Máire taps tables
Shouts
“One
Two
Three!”
“If the sky falls down
It falls on me”
[Chorus]
Dance
Love
Dance
It’s the last reel before dawn
Stamp the floorboards
Spin ‘til the ground is gone
If the world’s gonna break
Let it break in our song
Dance
Love
Dance
It’s the last reel before dawn (oh, dance!)
[Bridge]
If this is the ending
Let it end in a whirl
I’ll go laughing and reeling
I’ll go out as your girl
With your hand at my back
And your breath in my ear
We’ll chase the dark
Right out of here
[Chorus]
Dance
Love
Dance
It’s the last reel before dawn
Stamp the floorboards
Spin ‘til the ground is gone
If the world’s gonna break
Let it break in our song
Dance
Love
Dance
It’s the last reel before dawn
[Outro]
One more turn
Just one more turn (hey!)
Last reel
Love
Then the sun—or the storm—will come

Style
High-tempo Irish reel feel with female vocals; bright, agile fiddle leads the melody over driving bodhrán and guitar backing. Verses stay nimble and storytelling, almost half-spoken, then the chorus hits in a shout-along unison with stacked harmonies. Energy builds each pass, ending in a wild, breathless final refrain and a spiraling fiddle tag.
