waltzing on my own time

from for the heart's sake by Ellorie McKnight

lyrics

You had a daughter, and you bought a home
I saw your mother, in my dreaming of late
Her smile broad, her perfume faint
Wearing a gown, sitting at the white clothed table of your brother's wedding

I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time
I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time

The times are different now
Ghosted footsteps walking inside these four red walls
I said I wished that this would happen to you
But now I take it back

I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time
I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time

You paid me a visit in my dreams last night
You wished you had all the things that I have
And so it went, back and forth
Until I left

And you stood there with a tear in your eye
I stood there and watched you cry
And you stood there with a tear in your eye
I stood there and watched you cry
