Everybody Was Dancing lyrics

She runs right out to the very edge
Then takes a step back to clear her head
She got married at twenty-one
After thirty years it s hard to jump
It s hard to jump
And everybody was dancing on their wedding day
And all her friends have been asking,
"Why would you throw it away?"
And she doesn t know what to say
He is watching from back in his chair
Wondering if she s bluffing or if it s a dare
And he d like to tell her they can work it out
But the tender words won t come out
They won t come out
And everybody was dancing on their wedding day
And all their friends have been asking,
"Why would you throw it away?"
And she doesn t know what to say
She feels the terror most when she looks down
She drops a penny and doesn t hear a sound
And yet the silence in her own home
Begs the question: "Why not be alone?"
Why not alone?
And everybody was dancing on their wedding day
And to herself she is asking,
"Why do I stay?"
And she doesn t know what to say
