She danced as if a 

        D        Gm
Dancer danced as if

Bm                   Em
As if she had a body to sustain
A                   D     Gm
As if an audience to entertain
             D             Gm
This ironic distance kept her sane
           D            Gm
While her vessel sailed away

It was all very literary
D
And the truth was

                       Bm
(I’m sure she wouldn’t mind)
 
With a memory such as she
                   G
(But who else then I)
 
Leigh died so many months ago
                         F#m
