I Will Dance [When I Walk Away] lyrics

In our cold and empty house

I've lingered now for far too long

I vainly held the rosary

to pray you'd stay with me a while

But nothing seems to keep me here

the way it used to do before

This time it's me that's leaving you

I'll never turn around

'Cause when the laughter's gone

I know I must be moving on

And I will dance when I walk away

Oh-oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

Oh-oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

No more

I'm standing at the crossroads now

the fields of opportunity

I'm ready to go anywhere

I'm full of hope and full of fear

And bridges back have all been burned

and freedom has been duly earned

I'll remember why I've gone

remember where I'm coming from

Oh, when the laughter's gone

Oo-oo, I know I must be moving on

And I will dance when I walk away

Oh-oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

Oh-oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

And now I leave my mask with you

(The part) The part I played I never knew

(Tonight) Tonight, you´re alone

And I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

And I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

(I will dance when I walk away)

(Oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray) Oh, no no no no no no

No, I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing, I won't beg or pray

No more

No more, oh no no no

Oh, this is not a home for me

Oooo
