The Icons - Sunday lyrics

Twirling in the night air I never thought it'd last The card was drawn the joker I almost had to laugh With a will and nerves of granite I guess I can't complain Thought I wanted both worlds Still I'm happy on this train My soul is always with her But I don't need a home I don't sleep I can't eat I'm fine alone [Chorus] Jeannie was a dancer She lived on Hamden Row I wanted to take her with me But Jeannie she said no A beautiful woman with looks that would last I almost faltered almost strayed from my path But I just couldn't move from uranium groove So I gave her the choice to follow my move She had her own path she needed to dance A perfect ballerina who could and who can't Not to ask twice that was my vice But don't you understand it was a wife or a life? [Chorus] I sit on this wheel of knowledge Thinking of all the women that have been in my life Just one stands out Maybe I took it too far Proposing marriage is a very big step you know But it really doesn't matter now, now does it? I just wanted someone along for the ride So I didn't have to ride alone But she looked at me said baby, baby I have a ride of my own And her blue eyes I saw them turning away In the swirl of a fandango I fell down to my knees I cried Why is it that I didn't know? [Chorus] A beautiful woman with looks that would last I almost faltered almost strayed from my path But I just couldn't move from uranium groove So I gave her the choice to follow my move She had her own path she needed to dance A perfect ballerina who could and who can't Not to ask twice that was my vice But don't you understand it was a wife or a life?
