Slowly up three stories
The longest staircase anyone should walk
A single broken light bulb. – good
Cause I don’t mind the dark

The door to your rooms
The space where my dancer used to live  
Now the threshold to my sorrows 
There’s no way out, - I must go in

Tiny steps on creaking floors
And I man up and turn your key
I enter alone
The light from your window shines on me

Your tidy home
With everything placed so carefully
Let me hold you little dancer
Hold you so close to me.

Please let me hold you little dancer
Hold you so close to me.
 
Now your rooms are empty
I turn around, - no reason to stay 
There’s a closure awaiting
And all signs of life’s beenAnd o put away

And out in the streets
Everything seems normal as can be
But it’s not,  there’s a silence 
My dancer is gone eternally
 
Could I hold my little dancer
Hold you so close to me.
