Douglas Ray Jaffe - Middle Of The Dance Lyrics

Did you need a quiet room to hear your heart beat
To find a place to sit and rest your weary feet
Did you need to drift off dreaming or lay down on the grass
Why did you have to leave in the middle of a dance
Did you need a tender word from inside screaming walls
From the thunder of the heartbreak across the hall
Did you step beyond the line you swore you'd never cross
Why did you have to leave in the middle of a dance
Did a strange yesterday make your tomorrow stop
Did the intoxicating hysteria turn you off
Did the nosy eyes watching drive you blind
Did you catch someone whispering in the valley of your mind
Did the judge inside of you set the stranger free
From living a life walking over broken glass
Did you finally get the guts to play the game of chance
Why did you have to leave in the middle of a dance
Have you been trying to rise above the madness
And quit running after statues of the past
Did you get tired of chasing crowns and wings of fame
Why did you have to leave in the middle of a dance
Did a strange yesterday make your tomorrow stop
Did the intoxicating hysteria turn you off
Did the nosy eyes watching drive you blind
Did you catch someone whispering in the valley of your mind
In the valley of your mind
