The ballroom was quiet and empty the band it had played the last waltz. The beautiful moonbeams from heaven o'er lovers so softly did fall. A boy from the band saw me standing and down o'er the floor made his way.

See them tumbling down. Pledging their love to the ground. Lonely but free I'll be found. Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. . Cares of the past are behind.
