The Nits - The Ballroom Of Romance lyrics

In the ballroom of romance Bridie's waiting for a dance With her back pressed to the wall She lets the lamplight stripe her hands She smells the perfume of her friends "Soir de Paris" No news from France No news at all Secret glancing, the little schemes Have proven false elusive dreams We kissed, he said good-bye Sent away to foreign shores He's writing home, he dances no more No news from France tonight Maybe sad they sent him off To fight in some far distant land Maybe sad to see us part Baby said the last dance is saved for me And for some quick romance The last waltz lingers in our heart In the ballroom of romance Bridie's waiting for a dance With her back pressed to the wall She lets the lamplight stripe her hands She smells the perfume of her friends "Soir de Paris" No news from France No news at all
