Did someone call my name?
|
Like a distant drum is beating
|
Or is it just another dream of long ago?
|
I dance again I am spinning
|
In the light I am living
|
And I can feel the power rushing through my veins
|
Once upon a time I could do no wrong
|
For the candle flickers, the flame is never gone
|
|
To my brilliant feat
|
They all pay heed
|
I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly
|
|
Is it a game of chance?
|
Or merely circumstances
|
A jack to a king and back
|
Then you have to pay to play
|
The world it won't wait for you
|
Its got its own things to do
|
The sun's gotta rise and drive another night away
|
And as I listen to the silence
|
I can hear thunder in the distance
|
|
To my brilliant feat
|
They all pay heed
|
I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly
|
|
To my brilliant feat
|
I make grown men weep
|
And still my eyes grow oh so cloudy
|
