In our cold and empty house I've lingered now for far too long
I vainly held the rosary to pray you'd stay with me a while
But nothing seems to keep me here the way it used to do before
This time it's me that's leaving you I'll never turn around
'Cause when the laughter's gone
I know I must be moving on
And I will dance when I walk away oh
I'm gonna sing I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away oh
I'm gonna sing I won't beg or pray no more
I'm standing at the crossroads now, the fields of opportunities
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm full of hope and full of fear
And bridges back have all been burned and freedom has been duly earned
I'll remember why I've gone, remember where I´m coming from
Oh when the laughter's gone
I know I must be moving on
And I will dance when I walk away oh
I'm gonna sing I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away oh
I'm gonna sing I won't beg or pray no more
And now I leave my mask with you
The part I played I never knew
Tonight you're alone
And I will dance when I walk away oh
I'm gonna sing I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
I'm gonna sing I won't beg or pray no more
