I think I have all of them, but would like them to be confirmed. If you could post them, I would be most appreciative. Thanks.

p.s. I really dig the way this tune is progressing. What I'm hearing from Orlando sounds great!

hey now this might help you:

Welcome To The Dance

Lyrics: Phil Lesh?
Music: Phil Lesh

A new Phil Lesh song introduced with Furthur in 2009.

Here pack all our treasure
Our time is at an end
I long to leave the harbour
And sail with you again

Across the sea of changes
Destiny or doom
Under a rising moon
Dancing hand in hand with you

Life has changed
Rich and strange
Welcome to the dance

The nights are filled with motion
I'm searching for your face
And by the dance I learn
The holy cup of grace

Life is strange
Rich and strange
Welcome to the dance

This is what I have based on other published sources and what I can make out from the last performance...

Welcome To The Dance
Music and Lyrics by Phil Lesh

(lyrics in parenthesis are guesses, but from other theories and what I can make out this seems to be pretty correct)

Take your boots of winter
Put them on a shelf
(Feel) your heart again
Don't release your breath

Masquerade in white (something)
(Spinging cush of why)
Draw together times
(Spinning round the block)

Out of madness comes
Whispers of a breeze or (dew)
Take a bow, your turn now
May I have a dance?
Every time, line by line
Welcome to the dance

See the dancing moonlight
Cast its eyes on you
Where the (bed is leaping)
At the (ear of few)

As the circus comes
See the joy come over you
Take a bow, your turn now
Shall we have a dance?
Every time, line by line
Welcome to the dance

Hold the love (in player)
Standing in the cold
(Punish stove a lander)
Stories never told

Coming for the (winter)
Coming for the (day)
Rhythms ever changing
Waiting for the chance

Hear the music swirl
As you stand beside the moon
Take a bow, your turn now
Shall we take a chance
Every time, line by line
Welcome to the dance
