Little Waltz

you and i, we make a grand salute
stare at each other like lost little birds across the room
and i remember the way you looked
i learned how to dance, but i'd never shown it to you

my love
i know i was wrong, but you know that you'll always be
my love
stay for a while, while our leaves are still green
please, for me

i know i tried, but it's hard sometimes
the roots don't take, it takes a while
and you pull at the strings
but they're broken, it seems
the dance isn't over for me, no

my love
i know i was wrong, but you know that you'll always be
my love
stay for a while, while our leaves are still green
please, for me
