lyrics

I am a ballerina
A Christmas gift from long ago
I dance for you when the box is opened
I love how your eyes gaze at me so

I only dance when you are watching
I long to see your smiling face
When your eyes are wet with sadness
Your soul is full of peace and grace

I can’t begin to know your troubles
I only know that you’re alone
You hide with me here in the corner
Of this cold, damp basement
Where I hear you sing my song

I don’t know why they came to take you
Still and silent in your sleep
They didn’t even try to wake you
They just draped a blanket
Tears of ice fell down on me

I am a pretty ballerina
You left behind so long ago
I’ll wait for you until my music stops
Dreaming of the echo of your song
