The Barefoot Ballroom Lyrics - Angel In The House - Story

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 

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 the lover on my hands 

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, I'll wait for you 

'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels 

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here 

They'll come barefoot, little angels 

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here 

(The scene is set and the light is on 

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom 

The scene is set and the light is on 

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom) 

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 

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, I'll wait for you 

'Cause they'll come barefoot, little angels 

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here 

They'll come barefoot, little angels 

Barefoot, little angels, and take us away from here 

(The scene is set and the light is on 

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom 

The scene is set and the light is on 

Set, and the light is on in the barefoot ballroom)
