The Barefoot Ballroom Lyrics

Sometimes I'm happy, mostly I'm not,

I like to be alone a lot

And I don't know how I got this way,

Everything around me seems so crazy

My life is a rented hotel for the poor

The rooms are bare, and I'm afraid to close the door

But I keep the light on in the hall

And the perfume of the lover on my hands

And in a twinkling we will all be changed

And I'll wait for you, and I'll wait for you

In a twinkling we will all be changed

And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you

'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels,

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here

They'll come barefoot, little angels,

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here

(The scene is set and the light is on,

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom

The scene is set and the light is on,

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)

Sometimes she comes at a quarter to two,

Wearing her love like a costume

She takes it off, she's barefoot,

Sometimes I remember this dance,

Mostly not

And in a twinkling we will all be changed

And I'll wait for you, and I'll wait for you

In a twinkling we will all be changed

And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you

'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels,

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here

They'll come barefoot, little angels,

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here

(The scene is set and the light is on,

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom

The scene is set and the light is on,

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
