(Verse 1)

In our cold and empty house

I lingered now for far too long

I vainly held the rosary

To pray you'd stay with me a while

But nothing seems to keep me here

The way it used to do before

This time it's me that's leaving you

I'll never turn around

(Bridge)

Cause when the laughter's gone

I know I must be moving on

(Refrain)

And I will dance when I walk away

 Oh, I'm gonna sing

I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

 Oh, I'm gonna sing

 I won't beg or pray

No more

(Verse 2)

I'm standing at the crossroads now

The fields of opportunity

I'm ready to go anywhere

I'm full of hope and full of fear

And bridges back have all been burned

And freedom has been duly earned

I'll remember why I've gone

Remember where I'm coming from

(Bridge)

Oh, when the laughter's gone, uuhuu

I know I must be moving on

(Refrain)

And I will dance when I walk away

 Oh, I'm gonna sing

I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

 Oh, I'm gonna sing

I won't beg or pray

(Interlude)

Em7 -- Dsus4

And now I leave my mask with you

The part I played I never knew

Tonight you're alone

(Refrain) [3x]

And I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing

I won't beg or pray

I will dance when I walk away

Oh, I'm gonna sing

I won't beg or pray

Oh, this is not a home for me
