John Miles - Overture lyrics

rate me

Sad and lonely is a place I've been

Lost forever in a young boy's dream

Taking chances that won't come again

Thinking back was I so happy then

Who's behind me now I've come so far

Living up to what they say you are

Crowds of people queue to see my show

Scared to face it - but how could they know

Take a look at the young man

Laughing out loud at the fool

Pay the price tomorrow

Breaking every rule

Take a look at the old man

Going back in time with a sigh

All he's got is yesterday

He's living just to die

Take a look at the wise man

Keepin' both his fett on the ground

Needs no one to change him

Turn his head around

Take a look at the weak man

Could he ever stand on his own

Waiting for the day to come

When he'll be all alone

Take a look at the blind man

Wishing everyday he could see

Lives his life in darkness

Be grateful you and me

Take a look at yourself now

Standing with your back to the wall

Pride will get you nowhere fast

We're waiting for the fall

Once a whisper that was never heard

People listening to every word

Life is changing in so many ways

Out of darkness into better days

Now the empty seats as people rise

Lights are fading and the memory dies

Lost in silence as I stop and stare

Leving ghostly echoes everywhere

The overture is over but for me it's just begun
