Lyrics
You passed the nights in wonder and the days without a care
You could still reach out and with your fingers touch her hair
Now every day you think about that she is no longer there
You see her face in the crowd and soon you're back to where
That cold wind blows
A second makes the difference in the spinning of the wheel
When you come in close contact with a ton of speeding steel
And just when it looks like it could be your last day
You defy the reaper one more time, get up and walk away
You never know
Don't be late the game is on make sure that you are in
You've got to be the early bird if you want to win
How much you really gain or loose you don't find 'til the end
But you try because you don't know if you'll be back here again
To see the show
