Waltzing Alone - Anne Takle

She lives up near the sky

High up in the snow

As a young ballerina

She danced to steal the show

But time had passed her by

And all her dreams were gone

Now she sings to herself

And she goes waltzing alone

He lives down in the woods

The forest below

And his dreams are of treason

To hear the wind blow

And he had never danced

No, never had shone

And he never did sing

Or never waltzing alone

One day he came

Brought wood to her fire

He saw her beauty

She saw his desire

Oh, how she walked him so easy and slow

Called him her own Romeo

And in the winter time

She dressed all in red

And he brought her cloud berries

The day they were wet

They danced down to the days

Till the winter had flown

And she made his heart sing

As they went waltzing alone

When spring time came

The woods were a blaze

She said life burn so brightly

So few of our days

And oh, how he walked her so easy and slow

Till she drifted away like the snow

He dressed her all in white

A beautiful swan

And he held her so tight

Like she never was gone

He layed her down to sleep

A bed made of pine

And layed flowers at her feet

Tied her hair with a sweet wine

And in her arms he’d wait

For heaven’s bright throne

Were together forever

They’d go waltzing alone

Together forever

Now they’ll go waltzing alone

End
