Emile Haynie Little Ballerina (feat. Rufus Wainwright)
[Intro]
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
[Interlude]
Call me night time
I'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall)
I'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
I'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall)
I'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
I'm your lifeline
[Verse 1]
As soon as she walked and we started talkin'
As if nobody else exist
With her bleach blonde hair and her cold hard stare
And her lucky 13 on her wrist
And all night long, I play my song
Until she broke down in tears
Oh it's just the same, caught up in the game
Cause life's so holy my dear
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause all I need is time
All I need is time
[Chorus]
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
[Verse 2]
So take her to the ocean
Love to watch her floating
Hoping that she drifts my way
All those waves drown her sorrow
She'll need me tomorrow
So what's another empty day
But all my friends
They see the end
She's been doing this for years
But I swear I know
That her heart can grow
Beyond that lonely little life that she fears
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause all I need is time
All I need is time
[Chorus]
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
[Bridge]
You've been trying so hard
For all of your life
Never got it quite right
This I know
Ohh you say you need it so
You just lose control
Baby if I find the way
To take all your mind away from the call
Just tell me that you go
[Chorus]
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
I just want the chance
To let that little ballerina come dance
I know it's hard to find romance
When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin'
[Outro]
Call me night time
I'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall)
I'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
I'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
I'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
Baby, I'm a fool for love
For love, for love, for love
