Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Girl of Dances (Robin & Barry Dransfield)
Wonderful song. I've just listened (carefully) while following your written lyrics (thank you RolyH!) and there are a couple of typos/mis-hearings ... I think.
I know a couple have been mentioned before, but

Each verse second line is "Where are you, my girl of dances?" not "Where you ..."
The refrain includes "girl of dances", not "girl of dancing".
I hear "Of stone-cool floors" - though that's questionable.
Then, "Brass and buckles worn in the morning, on the hook in the afternoon."
The last refrain, he sings "Hear them say that you're astray" rather than "your heart's astray".
