I watched from up here in the rafters
as you pin your brown hair into place
I watch you as my light bounces straight from your jawbone
And those eyes a colour I have never seen
And I watch, I just wish for a moment,
it's like your body fell straight from my dreams
Every night i shone my light straight down upon you
And you called me your following sunbeam
The music plays, the lights all fade the floor is all yours
Your body moves in ways which I have never ever seen
My light she follows, my eyes do too, are you an angel?
The room was empty, apart from all the music, me and you
And I watch you as you dance, watch you as you dance watch you as you move those tiny feet
They move on their own,
and I don’t know what to do my pretty little dancer
I watch you as you dance, tell me if I fell here would you catch me in those tiny arms
It doesn’t matter much I’m just happy here just watching what you do
Tell me how does it feel, just to be so perfect ?
what’s is like to haunt men’s dream and is it worth it ?
Just to live the way you do, slaying men like me and acting a fool
You dance over rivers, and rolling green hills, and then back into this room where in silence we sit
And when the show is all over my lights fade out
I climb down from my rooftop home
Then I unbandaged those feet that have worked so hard
And we just sit here all alone
You look at me, it kills me,
you’re so beautiful I could cry
I lean in for a kiss, you just held me
then you taught me how to dance too that night
The doors to the theatre were locked shut
there’s a smell of sweet sawdust in the air
I rolled my lips over your sacred body
9 months later we heard our baby cry
Then it all changed,
everything became so very distant
All except that fire I had for you had never died
Hold out my hand, you push it back
so I still watch you
Remembering the woman I watched dance every night
I watched her as she walked, watched her as she walked, carrying our baby in her arms
Wondering around, Looking kind of lost my pretty dancer
Now when you look at me the only thing I see is hatred in those pretty little eyes
Don’t tell me how you feel because I’m scared to hear those words
I just want to be, you ever following sunbeam
I just want to hold you again and make you complete
Inside the cupboard in a box under the stairs we’re 2 dancing shoes and nothing could compare
to how she would feel when she’d bandage those feet,
now she screams all that’s been taken from me
I watched her as she sat, I watched as she sat cradling that box
She took out her shoess, slipped them on her slender dancing feet
I watched her as she stood silhouetted in the evening moon
Listening to the rain bouncing of the glass but to her it was just music
It had been a long long time, since I saw you smile
I don’t remember when but I know it’s been a while
She leaned in and then she kissed me
Opened the door and flew into the street,
danced again, beneath the clouds and the rain
All of the town men drew back the curtains will she come back to me ?
nothings for certain
Dancing into the distance women watch on envy
the beautiful bird had flown free ...
We watched you as you danced, watched you as you danced watched you as you move those tiny feet
We watched as you smiled, i still desire you my pretty dancer
