Mood Blue

Girl in a blue dress
She wears it like a shroud
Just a mournful face
Dancing with the crowd

In a sea of bright faces
She's difficult to see
Feeling invisible and lost
No-one knows what she wants to be

Every fancy move she makes
Every glide and subtle feat
Hiding behind the moves
Her heart skips a beat

But underneath the surface
A fire inside burns bright
She yearns to be special
A shining star one night

In the shadows she is hiding
In the lights she would be seen
One day she'll step out to the front
And end up living her dream
