Dancer Songtext
von Ben Sures

All her life she danced, left home in her teens
Yeah, she came back for Christmas
And other in between
All work and devotion
Twenty years to craft
But when she earned her big promotion
Her body chose a different path
There is a rhythm beneath
Every gesture and every move
Even when she speaks
Her words have a groove
And she limps with her grace
A truth that rings
A dancer
Forever watching from the wings
Forever watching from the wings
It ended so quickly
There were a few souvenirs
Yeah, a box of old pointe shoes
And the salt stain of a tear


There is a rhythm beneath
Every gesture and every move
Even when she speaks
The words have a groove
And she limps with a grace
A truth that rings a dancer
Forever watching from the wings
Forever watching from the wings
And where do you go
From all you know to sudden change
Do you take it like that dancer
Chin up and leave the stage
There is a rhythm beneath
Every gesture and every move, even when she speaks
Words have a groove and she limps with a grace
A truth that rings, a dancer
Forever watching from the wings
Forever watching from the wings
Forever watching from the wings
Forever watching from the wings
