Rush - Losing It Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonThe dancer slows her frantic paceIn pain and desperation,Her aching limbs and downcast faceAglow with perspirationStiff as wire, her lungs on fire,With just the briefest pause ---The flooding through her memory,The echoes of old applause.She limps across the floorAnd closes her bedroom door...The writer stares with glassy eyes ---Defies the empty pageHis beard is white, his face is linedAnd streaked with tears of rage.Thirty years ago, how the words would flowWith passion and precision,But now his mind is dark and dulledBy sickness and indecision.And he stares out the kitchen doorWhere the sun will rise no more...Some are born to move the world ---To live their fantasiesBut most of us just dream aboutThe things wed like to beSadder still to watch it dieThan never to have known itFor you -- the blind who once could see ---The bell tolls for thee...
