Waltzing's For Dreamers - Carrie Rodriguez

Oh, play me a blues song and fade down the light

I’m sad as a proud man can be sad tonight

Just let me dream on, oh, just let me sway

While the sweet violins and the saxophones play

And Sir, you don’t know me but can’t we pretend

That we care for each other till the band reach the end?

One step for aching, two steps for breaking

Waltzing’s for dreamers, losers in love

One step for sighing, two steps for crying

Waltzing’s for dreamers, losers in love

Now they say love’s for gamblers, all the pendulums swing

I bet hard on love and I lost everything

So don’t send me home now, put a shot in my arm

And we’ll drink out old memories and we’ll drink in the dawn

And Mr. Bandleader, won’t you play one more time?

For I’ve good folding money in this pocket of mine

One step for aching, two steps for breaking

Waltzing’s for dreamers and losers in love

One step for sighing, two steps for crying

Waltzing’s for dreamers and losers in love

And, Sir, you don’t know me but can’t we pretend

That we care for each other till the band reach the end?

One step for aching, two steps for breaking

Waltzing’s for dreamers and losers in love

One step for sighing, two steps for crying

Waltzing’s for dreamers and losers in love

Waltzing’s for dreamers and losers in love
