Curved Air - The Dancer lyrics

I've been a dancer since I was young I've had my chances and I've won every one Now I dance the night away Smiling while the music plays, playing my song But there's one boy that I long for Who's a long ride on the train away Always tugging at my sleeve saying "Mama, please don't go again, oh no" Day after day, I watch as you play Touchin' my heart, make me want to stay Soon it's time to go away Mama dance and people pay, playing their song But there's one boy that I long for When I go upon the train away While I'm dancing I can feel him "Mama, please don't go again Mama, please don't go again, oh no no" Little one, please understand I'm earnin' a living for you And when you grow to be a man You'll see I've done what I could do I like to be with you, yes I do Do you like dancing, can you sing too? I bought you a toy guitar I come home and hear you are playing a song But it's so hard for me to leave you To go back on the train away When you're cryin' as I'm leavin "Mama, please don't go again Mama, please don't go again Mama, please don't go again Mama, please don't go again, oh no no"
