Female voice: E van Wyk — Dancing Out My Baby Shoes lyrics

Lyrics

There’s a little noise I hear
Coming ‘cross the sea
There’s a little voice in the sky
Talking to me It says
«oh no, you can’t stay,
Gotta go, go away,
Something’s coming through
This life is not for you»
Gonna miss my momma
Gonna miss my poppa
If I go away I’ll die
Once had a lover
Never will recover
I’m not a bird that can fly
I go dancing on the graves
Of yesterday promises
Dancing to the beat of a million blues
Dancing in the footsteps of no-name heroes
Dancing out my baby shoes
Surely I deserve better?
They always let you down
It’s true they say a prophet
Has gotta leave his town
Can somebody not talk to me Without another lie?
How can I leave this place?
How can I say goodbye?
Gonna miss my momma
Gonna miss my poppa
If I go away I’ll die
Once had a lover
Never will recover
I’m not a bird that can fly
I go dancing on the graves
Of yesterday promises
Dancing to the beat of a million blues
Dancing in the footsteps of no-name heroes
Dancing out my baby shoes
I go dancing out my baby
Dancing out my baby
Dancing out my baby shoes
Now isn’t that cute?
