Emile Haynie, Rufus Wainwright - Little Ballerina lyrics

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'

Call me night time i'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall) i'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love i'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall) i'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall) i'm your lifeline

As soon as she walked and 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
Until she broke down in tears
Oh it's just the same, caught up in the game
Cause life's so holy 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 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
Ohh you say you need it so
You just lose control baby if I find the way
To take all your mind away from the call
Just tell me that you go

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'

Call me night time i'm your lifeline
(Such a fool to fall) i'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall) i'm your lifeline
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall) i'm your lifeline

Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
Baby, I'm a fool for love
(Such a fool to fall)
Baby, I'm a fool for love
For love, for love, for love
