To Dance Alone

Take a walk down, angel
Go on and meet your man
Tell him that you could not get away
He has got you by the spoonful
I've got you by the hand
Cause I know you so long
And I know your running song
I know all about the price you have to pay

Dance alone little one
If you don't know where to go
There will always be a place
That you call home
There are races to be run
There are winds that always blow
But baby don't dance
Baby don't dance alone

You're a freight train runnin'
Tearin' up that track
I can hear your lonely siren in the air
But I will keep that all inside me
I'll try to hold it back
Cause I've know you so long
And I've heard that running song
And I know that one grey morning you'll be back

I don't believe in coincidence
I don't believe in a lights-out all over black
I don't believe in a world without you, baby
'Cause I know you so well
I know your running spells
And I know that one grey morning you'll be back
