Hello, my child
You've been long on this run
Your feet move so wild
But they don't like it much

And the dancing that you've done
Oh, the dancing that you've done
Oh, the dancing that you've done
Oh, the dancing that you've done
Has lost all its fun
Has lost all its fun

Hello, my child
You're looking so tired
You've been trying to find
Some place you could hide

Some place you'd like to hide
Some place you'd like to hide
Some place you'd like to hide
Some place you'd like to hide
The dark is never dark enough
No, the dark is never dark enough

Hello, my child
How the painted floor fades
The blues turn to white
And the yellows turned gray
From the dancing that you've done
Oh, the dancing that you've done
Oh, the dancing that you've done
Oh, the dancing that you've done
Has lost all its fun
And it's never, never enough
And now you must hush
