I had a date with a pretty ballerina
|
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
|
I asked her for this dance
|
and then she obliged me
|
Was I surprised, yeah
|
Was I surprised,
|
no not at all
|
|
I called her yesterday,
|
it should have been tomorrow
|
I could not keep
|
the joy that was inside
|
I begged for her to tell me
|
if she really loved me
|
Somewhere a mountain is moving
|
Afraid it's moving without me
|
|
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
|
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
|
I asked her for this dance
|
and then she obliged me
|
Was I surprised, yeah
|
Was I surprised, no not at all
|
|
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
|
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
|
And something strange within said,
|
"go ahead and find her
|
Just close your eyes, yeah
|
Just close your eyes and she'll be there"
|
|
She'll be there...
