So Long

She couldn't dance, but she wanted to

She couldn't sing but for a sigh

They all said slip out on the side, if you like

There's no way that you ain't earned the right

She was always up before the light

So she could gather herself before then

Besides things were so much quieter at that time

Before the hum and the buzz and the whine

She should dance if she wants to dance

She should dance if she wants to dance

She should dance if she wants to dance

She should dance if she wants to dance

She considers the rising of the sun

She considers what may happen should she run

Would the world fall apart as we know it?

Would she really be able to make a go of it?

She just wanted to have her own song

Just to leave, just to go, say so long

She should dance if she wants to dance

She should dance if she wants to dance

She should dance if she wants to dance

She should dance if she wants to dance
