Pretty Ballerina Songtext
von The Left Banke

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurtin′ my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me

Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No, not at all

I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep this joy that was inside
I beg for her to tell me if she really loved me

Somewhere, a mountain is moving
I'm afraid it′s moving without me


I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurtin' my eyes
I asked for this dance and then she obliged me

Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No, not at all

And when I wake on the dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within says go ahead and find her

Just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and she′ll be there

She′ll be there
She'll be there
