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
