So Long

She couldn't dance, but she wanted to
She couldn't sing but for a sigh
They all said slip out on the side
If you like there's no way that you
Ain't earned the right

She was always up before the light
So she could gather herself before then
Besides things were so much
Quieter at that time
Before the hum and the buzz and the whine

She should dance if she wants to dance
She should dance if she wants to dance
She should dance if she wants to dance
She should dance if she wants to dance

She considers the rising of the sun
She considers what may happen should she run
Would the world fall apart as we know it?
Would she really be able to make a go of it?
She just wanted to have her own song
Just to leave, just to go, say so long

She should dance if she wants to dance
She should dance if she wants to dance
She should dance if she wants to dance
She should dance if she wants to dance
