Van Morrison – Ballerina (long version) Lyrics

Folk

Spread your wings
Come on fly awhile
Straight to my arms
Oh, little angel child

You know you only
Lonely 22 story block
And if somebody, not just anybody
Wanted to get close to you
For instance, me, baby

All you gotta do is ring a bell
Step right up, step right up
And step right up
Ballerina

Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sigh it, try it

Well, I may be wrong
But something deep in my heart tells me
I'm right and I don't think so
How'd you know I saw the writing on the wall?

When you came up to me
Child, you were heading for a fall

But if it gets to you
And you feel like you just can't go on

All you gotta do is ring a bell
Step right up, step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina

Stepping lightly
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sigh it, die it
Oh, die it, yeah

Alright
Well, it's getting late
Yes it is, yes it is
And this time I forget to slip into your slumber

The light is on the left side of your head
And I'm standing in your doorway
And I'm mumbling and I can't remember the last thing that ran through my head

Here come a man, here come a man
And he say, he say the show must go on

So all you gotta do is ring the bell
Step right up, step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina, yeah, yeah

Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sigh it, c'mon, die it
Well yeah
Just like a ballerina
Just like a, just like a, just like a, just like a ballerina, yeah
Get on up, get on up
Keep a-moving, moving on, moving on, moving on up
Little bit higher, baby

You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, get on up baby
Alright
A-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on pushing
Keep on, keep on pushing

Stepping lightly
I just like my ballerina
Ooo-wee, baby
Take off your shoes
Working on

Just like my ballerina
Ooo-wee, baby, baby, babe, baby
