Pretty Ballerina Lyrics

Pretty Ballerina

    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...
