lyrics

The snow is falling gently down
black jester of disaster is circling round
don't catch him looking at you

In this world of doubt
you have to keep your head held high
no fallen stooge
number pushed in the ground

When all seems at loss my friend
another storm on its way
don't look away
don't turn away

Just remember that life gives
what it takes away
its a cradle to grave
for us all

If I could give this
breath of life to you my friend
you know i would
yes i would

So I remember you there just the same
In this dusted dream
It’s rock-n-roll
we never fallen out of grace

So bring on this heartache
drag out that pain
It’s a beggars banquet
never stumbled very far

So I raise my glass
to another lighted stage
come share that path
come pass that book

When you can give no more
and you feel you can’t go on
just close your eyes
and your already half way there

If I could give this
breath of life to you my friend
you know I would
yes I would

So lets climb this merry-go-round
one more time
let the songbird sing
let the bells ring
