Morning comes a-calling, knocking at the door
It slipped up on two lovers, it's found them on the floor
Sunlight spills a shadow, shading every glance
It's hard to tell the dancers from the dance
Footsteps ring so hollow as he tries to lead
Once she used to follow, now they tip-toe lead
Going through the motions, in a lover's trance
It's hard to tell the dancers from the dance
Now he's dancing alone down the stairs
Pretending not to care
The ballet is empty of romance
It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance
They're so close together, they're so far apart
They've memorised their lines, but never understood their part
He says, "You'll never live alone, she says, "I'll take the chance"
It's hard to tell the dancers from the dance
Now she's dancing alone, come the morning
Waiting for the dawn
The ballet is empty of romance
It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance
It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance
It's hard to tell the dancer from the dance
