In my time I've won & I have lost
I made my way from country to counrty across
I have known riches; I've been on the losing end of time
I've been in love as sharp as a razor's shine
And altought I may have lost sight of where I'm going, my father told me to...
Give a hand where you can give it
Live a life where you can live it
If you hang it on a string you'll watch it fall
Never raise your glass to someone's sorrow
Never talk about tomorrow
And if the hangman calls to have you on the stalls
Tell them all
Tell them all
Tell them all
I seen you dancing in your bare feet from wall to wall
Your soles were black with dirt from the village hall
And your hair made love to the waves of the radio
Every song you ever knew & sang were slow
And although I may have lost sight of where I'm going my father told me to...
Give a hand where you can give it
Live a life where you can live it
If you hang it on a string you'll watch it fall
Never raise your glass to someone's sorrow
Never talk about tomorrow
And if the hangman calls to have you on the stalls
Tell them all
Tell them all
Tell them all
