Alain Mallet - The Barefoot Ballroom Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm happy, mostly I'm not
I like to be alone a lot
And I don't know how I got this way
Everything around me seems so crazy

[Verse 2]
My life is a rented hotel for the poor
The rooms are bare, and I'm afraid to close the door
But I keep the light on in the hall
And the perfume of my lover on my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
And in a twinkling we will all be changed
And I'll wait for you, and I'll wait for you
In a twinkling we will all be changed
And I'll wait for you, and I'll wait for you

[Chorus]
'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels
(The scene is set and the light is on)
Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here
(Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
They'll come barefoot, little angels
(The scene is set and the light is on)
Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here
(Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
[Verse 3]
Sometimes she comes at a quarter to two
Wearing her love like a costume
She takes it off, she's barefoot
Sometimes I remember this dance
Mostly not

[Pre-Chorus]
And in a twinkling we will all be changed
And I'll wait for you, and I'll wait for you
In a twinkling we will all be changed
And I'll wait for you, and I'll wait for you

[Chorus]
'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels
(The scene is set and the light is on)
Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here
(Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
They'll come barefoot, little angels
(The scene is set and the light is on)
Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here
(Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels
(The scene is set and the light is on)
Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here
(Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
They'll come barefoot, little angels
(The scene is set and the light is on)
Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here
(Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
