Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

What Ever Happened to Saturday Night

Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago

The moon burns so bright and the time went so slow

And I swore that I loved her, and gave her a ring

A bluebird was high on the wing

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight

She said: "Tell me, oh tell me- was I alright?"

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

The years round the railroad, it ran by my door

Now there's boards on the windows and dust on the floor

And she passes the time and another man sighed

I passed the time with my pride

Water tangled where we'd weave

Go round the circumstance

Some won't show how to tell

The dancer from the dance
