DANCE OUT on that ledge
Gave a smile. Tossed a dime.
Thanked me twice for being kind.
Wished him well upon his way.
Where you been, where you goin'?
Anybody need to know you were here today?
What was it that he said?
You can run, you can hide,
you can live off the lies and the bullshit that you're fed.
Or you can dance out on that ledge.
To the music in your head.
She was wild, she was fire.
Natures child, Carol's daughter.
She was everything.
I was freckles. Skin and bone.
She was sneakin' out alone.
Chased by boys chasing dreams.
But she'd listen to me sing.
Holly-lou, Paradise, Broken Arrow, Don't Think Twice It's Gonna Be Alright.
Dancin' on that ledge. To the music in our heads.
Took me 35 years before I'd see it clear.
I am him and he is me.
Bad liar, a good man's son.
We settled easy, we had our fun.
We both found love.
I hope he's proud of me.
When I'm up on the stage or how I've played this game they call life.
Dancing on that ledge. To the music playing in my head.
