Dancer With A Broken Leg

 

 

I'm waiting for the sun to rise

I haven't slept a wink tonight

There is much here I despise

Though everything seems just alright

I want more than I can get

I know, and much do I forget

But you're with me all the time

You're always on my mind

 

«But a dancer with a broken leg, babe

Is like a bassist without a bass

And a car, mam, without a driver

Is like a card game without an ass

And a bass line without punch, babe

Is like punch without booze

And a heartache without a tear, girl

Is like a gambler that never can loose

And a love song without a melody

Is like me babe, without you»

 

This can´t go on, though I´m feeling strong

I am flesh and blood and bones

I can fly like the wind through a stormy night

´til I am hearing the trombones

One for the money, arrow and bow

There’s one thing that I know

You're with me all the time

You're always on my mind

 

«Buz a dancer with a broken leg, mam…
