Little Ballerina (feat. Rufus Wainwright)

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' Come the nighttime, I'm your lifeline (Such a fool to fall), maybe I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall), maybe I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall), for love, for love, for love, for love As soon as she walked in, 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 'Til she broke down in tears Oh, we're just the same, caught up in the game Of life so hold me, my dear 'Cause all I need is time All I need is time 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' So I 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 'Cause all I need is time All I need is time 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' You've been trying so hard for all of your life Never got it quite right This, I know Oh, you say you need it slow or you just lose control But babe, if I find a way To take all your mind away from the cold Just tell me that you'll go, oh 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' Come the nighttime, I'm your lifeline (Such a fool to fall), maybe I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall), maybe I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall), for love, for love, for love, for love Maybe I'm a fool for love, (such a fool to fall) Maybe I'm a fool for love, (such a fool to fall) Maybe I'm a fool for love, (such a fool to fall) For love, for love, for love
