Memories are distant They flame out in an instant I think of you and I when we began Said this before, but I finally understand You've got to want to be a man Glory, it fades fast Does this ever really last? I think I know I shouldn't have to ask The ball is overtime to take off the mask Only hope I'm equal to the task Just once before you go Tell me all the things you think you'll need to know Yeah I lie in hope That I am in the crosshairs of your scope Time we're told is fleeting And we all take a beating There's no way to get through life alive Been dead before only to be revived There's no way to know how we survive Sorrow can be forever And there are those who never Ever dig their way out to the light Sometimes the blind seem to regain their sight And some just lose their will to fight Just once before you leave Tell me all the things you think you'll need from me Yeah I lie in wait If I get another shot I won't hesitate Your sweet heart is tender And I hope you'll remember This vision I have of you is gold We all have our visions And then the fires, they grow cold I want to be the one to watch you grow old This vision that I have of you is gold
