Thea Hopkins: Music

Jenny Danced

(Thea Hopkins)
July, 2007

Jenny danced as a child
Like a holy roller, to an angel choir
Pirouetting, right after school
Just until dinner, that was the rule
In a world out of balance
Jenny learned to dance

Jenny danced in her small bed
While her parents fought, over her head
She would be dreaming in three quarter time
Learning to turn, stop on a dime
In a world out of balance
Jenny learned to dance

Bridge: Fly, away from this dark house x3

- - Instrumental Break--

Jenny wasn't listening when her mother said
"Your daddy's leaving, good riddance to him"
Jenny was trying on her toe shoes
Tying them up so they wouldn't come loose
In a world out of balance
Jenny learned to dance
