Too long out on the road No one to hold But the boys In the band Making due with what She has known In the arms of the ones Who don't understand Just before dawn When the doing is done She dreams of the oceans And hot shining sand She's tried nearly everything Under the sun But she's never had A hand holding man She puts one foot In front of the other And she dances One step at a time She's keeping Her head Above Water Singing the lonely off of her mind Patiently biding her time ♪ Just like in the story She tells with her song Love comes falling Right out of the blue She knows one evening That her true love Is coming To waltz her away By the light of the moon She puts one foot In front of the other And she dances One step at a time She's keeping Her head Above Water Singing the lonely off of her mind Patiently biding her time Patiently biding her time Patiently biding her time
