Sadie's momma was a tanker always bowling her  down to the ground  And when Sadie got old enough she moved it on  Her freedom was a one way bus to another town  She had a little money, bought a dress and she put it on  And she worked her days in an all night restaurant  It was called believe or not...Anything You Want  There was a woman on the graveyard shift that  Sadie liked a lot  And she even took to coming early just in case  they could have some time  It seemed that anything the graveyard lady wanted  the graveyard lady got  And Sadie decided the difference between them  was a shadow line  Years would fly before she'd bother to try  to be her own true face  Right now seemed like every thing was sadly stuck in place  Hot town, Toronto, l951  The Spring is doing its stuff  She sends a letter home to say "I've come undone"  All they say "that's tough"  Another birthday pass her by and she has a dream  one night that she can fly  And she goes to work that day and all she does is cry cry cry  And Sadie finally meet a man who dances a jig  and she follows him down  But don't he turn out to be a little angel of misery  Living quiet in a private dream, protected by a frozen frown  Periodically he looks up and says  "Sadie, what's to become of you and me?"  It's at these times that she holds his head  Half wishing all the while that he's holding her instead  And she finally tells him that and it blows his mind...  Takes a little time, takes a little time, takes a little   time.  Takes a little time, takes a little time, takes a little   time.  It's so amazing what you don't find out  when you're dancing!!
