[Verse 1]
To fling my arms wide
In some place in the sun
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done
Then rest, then rest at evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently
Dark like me
That is my dream!

[Verse 2]
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done
Rest at pale evening
A tall, slim tree
Night coming tenderly
Black like me
