Lyrics
Heat sat down on the county Like it paid the rent Screen door sighing slowly Every fan we own is bent But the ceiling fan is turning Round and round, so slow Stirring up the evening Like the syrup in a bowl Ceiling fan, honey Keep this slow dance going Ceiling fan, honey Let the warm night keep on flowing We don't need no cold front Just your hand in mine Ceiling fan, honey Turning out the time Lemonade is sweating On the kitchen floor we sway Bare feet on the linoleum Nothing more to say Radio's low and lazy Cicadas fill the gaps You hum along off-key, love And I'm wrapped in your laps Ceiling fan, honey Keep this slow dance going Ceiling fan, honey Let the warm night keep on flowing We don't need no cold front Just your hand in mine Ceiling fan, honey Turning out the time Let the thermometer climb Let the highway melt There's nowhere I'd be rather Than this sticky, golden spell Close your eyes and listen To the blades go by Every little turning Is a slow goodnight Ceiling fan, honey Keep this slow dance going Ceiling fan, honey Let the warm night keep on flowing We don't need no cold front Just your hand in mine Ceiling fan, honey Turning out the time Round and round, honey Slow and sweet and low Ceiling fan, honey Never let it go
